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.

Sooner or Later Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
i want a normal life
just like a newborn child
i am a lover hater
i am an instigator
you are an oversight
don't try to compromise
i learn to love to hate it
i am not integrated
pre-chorus:
just call my name
you'll be okay
your scream is burning through my veins
chorus:
sooner or later
you're gonna hate it
go ahead and throw your life away
driving me under
leaving me out there
go ahead and throw your life away
you're like an infantile
i knew it all the while
you sit and try to play me
just like you see on tv
i am an oversight
just like a parasite
why am i so pathetic
i know you won't forget it
pre-chorus
chorus (substitute "my life away")
bridge
chorus (substitute "our life away")
