[Intro]
Life

[Verse 1]
Things keep ending up this way
Another notch is carved away
In the thoughts of mass decay
Funny how things end up this way

[Chorus]
Beaten down
Dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside
This cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

[Post-Chorus]
Life
That's not right out insane

[Verse 2]
Satisfaction is delayed
Its motivation is displayed
Flaunting its misogyny
Funny how I thought it'd go away

[Chorus]
Beaten down
Dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside
This cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

[Post-Chorus]
Life
That's not right out insane

[Bridge]
I'm constantly beat up inside
And I'm the one to blame
No one can relate to me
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane
That's not right out insane

[Pre-Chorus]
Beaten down
Dominated by its sound
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

[Chorus]
Beaten down
Dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside
This cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

[Post-Chorus]
Life
That's not right out insane
That's not right out Insane

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.”
