[Intro: Jonathan Davis]
Are you ready?

[Verse: Jonathan Davis]
This place inside my mind
A place I like to hide
You don't know the chances
What if I should die?
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind
Blind
Another place I find
To escape the pain inside
You don't know the chances
What if I should die?
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind
Blind

[Bridge: Jonathan Davis]
Deeper, and deeper, and deeper
As I journey to live a life that seems to be
A lost reality
That can never find a way to reach my inner...
Self-esteem is low
How deep can I go
In the ground that I lay
If I don't find a way to
See through the gray that clouds my mind
This time I look to see what's between the lines
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis & Head]
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind (I can see I'm going)
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind (going blind)
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind
I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind!

[Outro: Jonathan Davis]
I'm blind!
I'm blind!
I'm blind!
I'm blind!

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.”
