The group released their debut album, The Lonely Position of Neutral, on July 23, 2002. The album was well received with the lead single "Downfall" gaining heavy exposure through MTV2. Subsequently, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts. A second single "Running From Me" followed with more moderate success. The Lonely Position was certified gold by the RIAA, and the band went on to tour with artists such as 30 Seconds to Mars and Papa Roach. They also toured with KoRn and Disturbed as part of the Pop Sux Tour in 2002.
Trust Company was scheduled to play at Ozzfest 2003 but was forced to back out by their label in order to work on their second album, True Parallels, which was belatedly released on March 22, 2005, after an 8-10 month delay. Several months prior to the album's release, original bassist Josh Moates left the group and was replaced by Walker Warren. Despite little promotion from their label, the album entered the Billboard album charts at #32, and has gone on to sell in excess of 200,000 copies. The first and only single from the album, "Stronger," made a moderate impact on mainstream rock radio. According to drummer Jason Singleton on the band's website message board, the second single may have been "The War is Over."
In August 2005, it was announced that frontman Kevin Palmer had left the band due to personal issues. The band disbanded shortly after. Soon after the breakup, Palmer and original bassist Josh Moates came together to form a new project called Amity Lane. The band released their debut album The Sound of Regret on October 31, 2006 via Corporate Punishment Records.

Falling apart
Trust Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Further from you
Trying to find what is real
Your somebody else
That I never know
And someone that I can feel
I show you away I keep it real
To keep me alive
So you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You pushed me out so far
There's no more feeling
I slipped away
Closer to me
The only thing that was real
I'm falling behind
And now I can see
Absence helps me heal
I showed you away
I keep you for me
Is this what it takes
To keep me alive
So you take me
And you brake me
And you see I'm fallin' apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You pushed me out so far
There's no more feeling
There's no more feeling
So you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You push me out so far
And you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
There's no more feeling
No more feeling
No more feeling
The lyrics of Trust Company's song "Falling Apart" seem to explore the idea of falling out of love with someone and feeling a sense of detachment and disconnection from them. The singer describes slipping away further from the person he once knew, unable to find what is real in this changed version of them. He yearns for the person he never knew, someone he can connect with and feel a true sense of understanding.
He continues to describe how the person pushes him away, complicating things and ultimately forsaking him. The detachment he feels is overwhelming, and he realizes that the absence of this person in his life helps him to heal. The singer acknowledges that he too has shown the person away, choosing to keep them at a distance to preserve his own sense of self.
The chorus repeats the idea of the person taking and breaking him, causing him to fall apart. He recognizes the pain of this detachment, but also the necessity of it. The song ends on the repeated phrase "no more feeling," suggesting that the detachment has become complete and any sense of feeling or connection has been lost.
Line by Line Meaning
I slipped away
I distanced myself from you
Further from you
I moved away from you more and more
Trying to find what is real
I was searching for the truth
Your somebody else
You have changed, you are not the same person anymore
That I never know
I don't recognize you anymore
And someone that I can feel
I want to feel a connection with someone
I show you away I keep it real
I am honest with you and show you the way
Is this what it takes
Is this what I need to do?
To keep me alive
To keep myself going and feeling alive
So you take me
You take control of me
And you break me
You hurt me and damage me emotionally
And you see I'm falling apart
You can see that I am breaking down
Complicate me
You make things more difficult for me
And forsake me
You abandoned me and left me behind
You pushed me out so far
You pushed me away to a distant place
There's no more feeling
I can't feel anything anymore
Closer to me
I am focusing more on myself
The only thing that was real
The only thing that mattered was my own reality
I'm falling behind
I am not keeping up with the rest
And now I can see
I have gained a new perspective on things
Absence helps me heal
Being away from you helps me recover
I keep you for me
I am keeping you to myself, not letting you go
And you brake me
You keep hurting and damaging me emotionally
And you see I'm falling apart
You can see how much I am struggling
There's no more feeling
I have become numb and emotionless
No more feeling
I have completely shut down emotionally
