[Verse 1]
A slap in the face
It is endowed
The light of my life
Is put out somehow
I'm lying in pieces of
Emotions you control
You're feeding my sympathy
The lie unfolds

[Chorus]
Beating this hostility, I pray
Begging, make this evil go away
Coveting the things I only fear
Building my sanctuary of blood and tears

[Verse 2]
The lines that I traced
Around the scars they swell
In flame with a sedative
To numb this spell
I'm lying in pieces of
Emotions you control
You're feeding this cancer
It's taken hold

[Chorus]
Beating this hostility, I pray
Begging, make this evil go away
Coveting the things I only fear
Building my sanctuary of blood and tears

[Brige]
Feeling animosity
When no one else is around
Blindly, I scream into the air
Eating my heart off the ground

[Chorus]
Beating this hostility, I pray
Begging, make this evil go away
Coveting the things I only fear
Building my sanctuary of blood and tears

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.”
