[Verse 1: Jonathan Davis]
Wake up, it's almost over
Something is taking me
Every time I'm up, it kills me
Living day to day, shock waves shatter me
I don't fake insecurity!
Get up and don't look back now!
Don't look back now!

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
We ride a dying star
Across a burning sea!
We're like a supernova now!
The fire's burning in me!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!

[Verse 2: Jonathan Davis]
Giving up, I won't stop fighting
Bring it on, it won't faze me!
Anytime it makes me stronger
Living day to day, shock waves shatter me
I don't fake insecurity!
Get up and don't look back now!
Don't look back now!

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
We ride a dying star!
Across a burning sea!
We're like a supernova now!
The fire's burning in me!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!

[Bridge: Jonathan Davis]
Going on day-to-day
Stirring up the happy sorrow
Why's life gotta be this way?
Every time I'm up, it kills me
Somewhere deep, responding change
Manipulation rampant all around
Dark all these days
Calling on something to follow
Mass Hysteria!

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
We ride a dying star!
Across a burning sea!
We're like a supernova now!
The fire's burning in me!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!
Mass Hysteria!

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
