[Verse 1]
They drag me underground, the lights are slowly fading
The world I thought I knew I never knew at all
The dead don't make a sound unless you're chasing rainbows
And then they scream your name, clawing at the gates

[Pre-Chorus]
So pull me out and hold me down
Let's find a way to lose ourselves

[Chorus]
Take me to the sun, I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone, waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into another desperation
Now into your lonely paradise

[Verse 2]
Are we just dreaming in the city that never sleeps?
'Cause I can't be seeing what my eyes tell me
Am I just dreaming? This can't be in my veins
Everything I ever knew will never be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
So chew me up and spit me out
Let's find a way to save ourselves
So pull me out and hold me down
Let's find a way to lose ourselves

[Chorus]
Take me to the sun, I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone, waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into another desperation
Now into your lonely paradise

[Bridge]
And now I feel it
Yeah, I feel it in my blood
I can't fight this anymore
I've given up
I've given up

[Chorus]
Take me to the sun, I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone, waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into another desperation
Now into your lonely paradise
Take me to the sun, I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone, waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into another desperation
Now into your lonely paradise, yeah

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.
