[Verse 1]
I've been away for every day and every fucking night
I've seen your eyes, I've seen your eyes
I've been away for every day and every fucking night
And with every city, it gets harder

[Verse 2]
You've got a mouth like a razor-blade, it cuts so deep
So kiss my wrists and my neck, give me eternal sleep

[Chorus]
You say, you say, "I'm only a phone call away"
But for me, this distance is decay
You say, you say, "I'm only a phone call away"
But for me, this distance is decay

[Verse 3]
So line my throat with lipstick and leave my blood for flies
I'll gurgle the blood under a sea of lies
Before you take me to sea, let me kiss the bride
Before you take me to sea, let me kiss the bride
(Now take my body to the shore and I'll wait for the tide)

[Breakdown]
I will always love you, but I need pills to sleep
I have always failed you, so throw away my memories, move
I will always love you, but I need pills to sleep
I have always failed you

[Outro]
So throw away my memories, throw them all away
So throw away my memories, throw them all away

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.
