[Intro]
(Go away)
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
(Go away)
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get to it
(Go away)
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
(Go away)
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get to it

[Verse 1]
Set the bait and I'm waiting
In a state of concentrating
I'm gonna knock this motherfucker down, down, down, down, down
And there's a catch with this waiting
All of my thoughts are overtaking
Do I got the strength to take this fucker down? (Down, down, down)

[Refrain]
Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me
Cold
Cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape
The broken in flames, they call out my name
They dance in my dreams while I scream out in pain

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down

[Verse 2]
Alone, awake with the craving
I watch my step, I'm calculating
On how I'm taking this motherfucker down, down, down, down, down
I don't know what I am thinking
Sometimes I feel like I am sinking
Into the ground I'll call my grave

[Pre-Chorus]
Cold
Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
Break it down

[Refrain]
Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down

[Outro]
(Go away)
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
(Go away)
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get to it
(Go away)
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
(Go away)
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get to it

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.”
