[Chorus]
I've got a secret
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the back of my lungs
And I'm gonna keep it
I know something you don't know

[Verse 1]
It sits in silence, eats away at me
It feeds like cancer, this guilt could fill a fucking sea
Pulling teeth, wolves at my door
Now falling and failing is all I know
This disease is getting worse
I counted my blessings, now I'll count this curse

[Pre-Chorus]
The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night
I'm buried and breathing in regret, yeah
The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night
I'm buried and breathing in regret

[Chorus]
I've got a secret
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the back of my lungs
And I'm gonna keep it
I know something you don't know
I've got a secret
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the back of my lungs
And I'm gonna keep it
I know something you don't know

[Verse 2]
I may look happy, but honestly, dear
The only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear
I see the vultures, they watch me bleed
They lick their lips, as all my shame spills out of me

[Breakdown]
Repent, repent, the end is nigh
Repent, repent, we're all gonna die
Repent, repent, these secrets will kill us
So get on your knees and pray for
Repent, repent, the end is nigh
Repent, repent, we're all gonna die
Repent, repent, these secrets will kill us
So get on your knees and pray for forgiveness

[Bridge]
We all carry these things inside that no one else can see
They hold us down like anchors, they drown us out at sea
I look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see
But if I don't believe in him, why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?

[Chorus]
I've got a secret
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the back of my lungs
And I'm gonna keep it
I know something you don't know
I've got a secret
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the back of my lungs
And I'm gonna keep it
I know something you will never know
You will never know
I know something you don't know

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
