La historia de Daughtry comienza en la pequeña ciudad de Roanoke Rapids, Carolina del Norte, donde Chris Daughtry, el fundador y corazón del grupo, nació el 26 de diciembre de 1979. Desde muy joven, Chris mostró un profundo apego por la música, influenciado por artistas del rock de alta talla como Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, y Journey.
El camino de Chris hacia la fama no fue sencillo. En su adolescencia, tocó en varias bandas locales, explorando diferentes géneros y perfeccionando su oficio. Uno de sus primeros grupos fue Absent Element, donde además de cantar, tocaba la guitarra. Sin embargo, el destino de Chris estaba a punto de cambiar de manera drástica.
El punto de inflexión llegó en 2005, cuando Chris decidió participar en la quinta temporada de American Idol. Su participación en el programa lo catapultó a un nivel de visibilidad sin precedentes, aunque sorpresivamente fue eliminado en el cuarto lugar. A pesar de no ganar el concurso, Chris dejó una marca indeleble, y la industria de la música tomó nota de su talento.
Tras su paso por American Idol, Chris Daughtry recibió varias ofertas de disqueras y decidió formar su propia banda. En 2006, nació Daughtry, con una formación que incluía a Chris como vocalista principal y guitarrista, Josh Steely en la guitarra líder, Brian Craddock en la guitarra rítmica, Josh Paul en el bajo, y Joey Barnes en la batería.

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
Momma can't get down those halls
Fast enough to see
Glass is sprayed across the floor
From the broken window.
She can't breathe anymore.
Can't deny what we know.
They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
You ain't comin' in.
Posters hung on building walls
Of missing faces.
Months go by without the cause,
The clues, or traces.
They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become
A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.
Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
The memories begin to fall.
She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
