Formed in 1998 under the moniker Plan 9, the band quickly garnered a local following before changing their name to Breaking Benjamin(a name which resulted from a gig gone wrong said Benjamin Burnleyin an interview) in late 2000 and signing to Hollywood Records, where they released their first major-label record, Saturate, in 2002. The record had clear influences and touches of Tool, KoЯn, and Nirvana. The first single Polyamorousreceived much radio airplay, and propelled the band to stardom. Ben Burnley says that he taught himself the guitar by listening to Nirvana's Nevermind. He also explained in an on-air radio interview of the band (Tucson, AZ station KFMA) that he's written most songs at least half-drunk, with one exception.

Away Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
cold
am i
i'm beside myself because there's no on else
have i grown
so blind
only God could save you if you knew your way
to the light
so fly away
and leave it behind
just stay awake
there's nowhere to hide
chorus:
i see you
cause you won't get out of my way
i hear you
cause you won't quit screaming my name
i feel you
cause you won't stop touching my skin
i need you
they're coming to take you away
frail
and dry
i could lose it all but i cannot recall it's all wrong
don't cry
clear away this hate and we can start to make it alright
so fly away
and leave it behind
return some day
with red in your eyes
chorus
bridge/guitar solo
