[Intro]
Fuck you

[Verse 1]
You took what you wanted and left, like locusts
Everything I gave to you, everything that we've been through
You bled me dry and then went, like leeches
Go, you got what you could now leave, like vultures
Ripped apart in minutes what was built in seven years
The ink scarred on your back may as well have disappeared
For as long as I remember, you sold everything you owned
But now you sold our friendship, you're on your fucking own

[Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open

[Verse 2]
If I had it my way I'd slit your throat with the knife that you left in my back
All this shame, all this guilt, all this regret, that's me
I'm inside of you, I'm inside of you
I'm inside of you, I'm inside of you
And this is your world, fucking falling apart, mate
From the inside out, everything will fall apart at your feet
You got hell to pay, yeah, you got hell to pay
And you better fucking bow down to me
You better beg for mercy
Get on your fucking knees and cry me a fucking river

[Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open

[Outro]
Best friends means forever
Best friends means forever
Cunt

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.
