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.

Breath Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
I see nothing in your eyes,
and the more I see the less I lie.
Is it over yet, in my head?
I know nothing of your kind,
and I won't reveal your evil mind.
Is it over yet? I can't win.
So sacrifice yourself,
and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find
the fire in your eyes.
I'll throw it all away,
get away, please.
[Chorus]
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to
make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.
Is it over yet? Let me in.
So sacrifice yourself,
and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find
the fire in your eyes.
I'll throw it all away,
get away, please.
[Chorus]
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to
make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
[Bridge]
I'm waiting, I'm hating, realize, start hiding.
[Chorus]
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to
make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
