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.

Here We Are Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
Sing it for me, I can't erase the stupid things I say. You're better than me. I struggle just to find a
better way.
[Chorus]
So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars. I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly
say goodbye. The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone. I'll be home tonight, take a
breath and softly say goodbye.
You're running like me. Keep moving on until forever ends. Don't try to fight me. The beauty queen has
lost her crown again.
[Chorus]
So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars. I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly
say goodbye. The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone. I'll be home tonight, take a
breath and softly say goodbye.
Goodbye.
So why are you so eager to betray, pick the peices up, pick the pieces up.
So why are you the one that walks away, pick the peices up, pick the pieces up.
[Chorus]
So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars. I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly
say goodbye. The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone. I'll be home tonight, take a
breath and softly say goodbye.
Just take a breath and softly say goodbye.
