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.

Verse 1: AE I’ve given up, I'm giving up slowly, D I’m blending in so you won’t even know me AEF#mED apart from this whole world that shares my fate AED This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption AEF#mED because I know to live you must give your life away
Pre-chorus: F#mDAE And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity F#mDAE I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key F#mDAE And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me F#mD And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, E promise I’m going because

Verse 2: AE I’m giving up on doing this alone now D Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how AEF#mED He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there AE And this life sentence that I’m serving D I admit that I’m every bit deserving AEF#mED But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
