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.

Sugarcoat Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
It started again
Claimin a friend
I couldnt be
Ive never been
Im all alone
Out in the cold
Ill never know
Your sugarcoat
Youre ready to go
Youre ready to go
But Ill never know
Your sugarcoat
Is just as sweet as I am
[chorus]
Look what you did
Suck on your lies til your eyes turn red
What did you say
Willing to drown in a tidal wave
Take me away
Let believe that youre on your way
Suck on your lies til your eyes turn red
Im on the floor
Battered and bored
You got a taste
I cant ignore
Im all alone
Out in the cold
Ill never know
Your sugarcoat
Youre ready to blow
Youre ready to go
But Ill never know
Your sugarcoat
Is just as sweet as I am
[chorus x 2]
Red
Your eyes are red
