[Verse 1]
I'm walking on a razor blade
Сareful not to cross the line
Every little step I take
It's punishment time now
I'm getting to the end of the blade
Slipping to the other side
Every little step I take
It's punishment time now!

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive, there's no tomorrow!
Fighting to survive, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!
Heavy on the heart, there's no tomorrow!
Heavy on the heart, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!

[Verse 2]
I'm hanging like a bat today
Crucified by design
Every little move I make
It's punishment time now
I'm sleeping on a bed of nails
They're breaking through one at a time
'Cause every little move I make
The punishment's mine

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive, there's no tomorrow!
Fighting to survive, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!
Heavy on the heart, there's no tomorrow!
Heavy on the heart, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!

[Bridge]
I give and don't get
I'll try till my death
There's something inside of me
That makes me forget
I give and don't get
I'll try till my death
There's something inside of me
That makes me forget
I give and don't get
I'll try till my death
There's something inside of me
That makes me forget!

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive, there's no tomorrow!
Fighting to survive, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!
Heavy on the heart, there's no tomorrow!
Heavy on the heart, there's no today!
Fight or flight, I'm losing my mind!
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

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.”
