[Verse]
This is what the edge of your seat was made for
Holding on, nothing to lose
This is what the edge of your seat was made for
And this
This is what the back of your hand was made for
Stolen apologies, stolen apologies, you

[Chorus]
You're a traitor to my heart
You're a traitor to us all, forsaken

[Bridge]
(This overindulgence of consciousness has torn a day apart)
(And lingered in the splendor of the feeling in my stomach)
(Trailing down the shadow of cupped hands, covering my face)
(I wait for what I have to do)
Forsaken!

[Breakdown]
We're all movie stars
We're all movie stars
We're all movie stars
We're all movie stars

[Interlude]
And I'm speaking these words
And I'm talking to the mirror

[Chorus]
You're a traitor to my heart
You're a traitor to us fucking all

[Outro]
I don't want to kiss anyone
I don't want to kiss anyone but you
I fucking love you

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.
