[Verse 1]
How come what's wrong with you?
Darling faces all strung with frowns
Let's do what devils do
Hiding in shadow, no one's around
Why can't I torture you?
Giving pain, you take it away
The little things you do
Simply, I love your evil ways

[Chorus]
Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

[Verse 2]
This virus follows you
Nothing's left, you're dead on the ground
How can I covet you?
Give you hell, and you can't rebound
My soul infected you
Blackened thoughts, they run through your head
The little things you do
Simply I wish you were dead

[Chorus]
Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me
I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

[Bridge]
Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay, but everything is all wrong
Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay, but everything is all wrong
Everything is all wrong
Everything wrong
Wrong
Everything wrong

[Chorus]
Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me
I think I owe you an apology
Somehow, you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

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.”
