Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.

AED I’ve given up I'm giving up slowly, I’m blending in so AED You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate AED This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption AED because I know to live you must give your life away ADAE And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and ADAE I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key ADAE And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me ADE And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because A-ED IIIII gotta get outta here AED I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake A-ED IIII gotta get outta here ADAEA And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.
I’m giving up on doing this alone now Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there And this life sentence that I’m serving I admit that I’m every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because I gotta get outta here Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake I gotta get outta here And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.
A I am a hostage to my own humanity ED Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made A And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me E But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because I’ve gotta get outta here I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I’ve gotta get outta here And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.
A I fought You for so long I should have let You Win ED Oh how we regret those things we do AE And all I was trying to do was save my own skin aw-aw D But so were You A So were You
