[Verse 1]
With aversion
This assertion came so swiftly
Cut the cord from
This day forward
We'll be drifting
No direction
No affection
Watch the soul dive
You're dissected
Resurrected
Still don't know why
This illness is like a monster that is
Eating us alive

[Chorus]
Hold on! Be strong!
So right! So wrong!
With all of our senses!
All of our defenses!
Hold on! Be strong!

[Verse 2]
New arrival
Our survival
Still not certain
Once a virtue
Where to go to
When you're hurting
It's a weakness
It's a sickness
In the gene pool
Show no mercy
People here say
Kill the damn fool
This illness is
Like a monster that is
Eating us alive

[Chorus]
Hold on! Be strong!
So right! So wrong!
With all of our senses!
All of our defenses!
Hold on! Be strong!

[Bridge]
My
Soul
Blood
Raw
Don't ever let me go, no!
Don't ever let me go, no!
And I'll never let you go, no!
I'll never let you go, no!

[Chorus]
Hold on! Be strong!
So right! So wrong!
With all of our senses!
All of our defenses!
Hold on! Be strong!

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.”
