The video is not great, but this song is tasty.

So this band is Breaking Benjamin, a rather popular band who I've only just discovered. I am usually loathe to admit to liking such a mainstream group, but I can't deny that the guitar riffs do something to me. Ben Burnley's voice is quite something as well, ranging from a somewhat too-sincere emo, a'la Panic at the Disco, to a great hard rock growl. Anyhoo, I really get into this song. I'll probably post another by these guys later.



The song is called Breath and is off their album Phobia.
Here are the lyrics:

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'm going all the way,
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'm going all the way,
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.
