[Intro]
The hating
It's pulled inside of me
The trying
To test my sanity
It's in your waiting
It's all make believe
And the ripping
The child within me

[Verse 1]
Cheating the time that I had left needing
My soul 'cause that's the bed giving
All that that I can give
Controlling my mind that is diseased
Holding my hate that is really scolding
The hand that keeps me fed
That keeps me fed
Fed!
That keeps me fed!
Fed!
That keeps me...

[Chorus]
I feel it all come crashing down on me!
I feel alone and torn apart!
A wasted time to let it get to me!
An angry mouth with a broken heart!

[Verse 2]
Searching for something that is safe
Hurting my pride that is the test
Turning my anger towards your flesh
Rotting we hold the end of bag
Spurting the blood that's on the bed
Scolding the hand that keeps me fed
That keeps me fed
Fed!
That keeps me fed!

[Chorus]
I feel it all come crashing down on me!
I feel alone and torn apart!
A wasted time to let it get to me!
An angry mouth with a broken heart!

[Outro]
The hating
It's pulled inside of me
The trying
To test my sanity
It's in you waiting
It's all make believe
And the ripping
The child from within me
The hating
It's pulled inside of me
The trying
To test my sanity
It's in you waiting
It's all make believe
And the ripping
The child from within 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.”
