Deathbeds Lyrics
[Verse 1: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
Eyes like a car crash
I know I shouldn't look, but I can't turn away
Body like a whiplash
Salt my wounds, but I can't heal the way I feel about you
I watch you like a hawk
I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb
Will the hunger ever stop?
Can we simply starve this sin?
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
[Verse 2: Oli Sykes]
And on my deathbed
All I'll see is you
The life may leave my lungs
But my heart will stay with you
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence, I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
Eyes like a car crash
I know I shouldn't look, but I can't turn away
Body like a whiplash
Salt my wounds, but I can't heal the way I feel about you
I watch you like a hawk
I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb
Will the hunger ever stop?
Can we simply starve this sin?
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
[Verse 2: Oli Sykes]
And on my deathbed
All I'll see is you
The life may leave my lungs
But my heart will stay with you
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence, I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
[Bridge: Hannah Snowdon, Oli Sykes & Both]
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
Tides will bring me back to you
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence, I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
Tides will bring me back to you
[Chorus: Oli Sykes with Hannah Snowdon]
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence, I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights, I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm, you'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you

What did Bring Me The Horizon say about "Deathbeds"?
Genius Answer
Our friends Immanu el do some ‘oohs’ and ‘ahs’ but there’s no real outside guests on this album. It was a conscious thing not to have other people this time, just because we’ve done it so much on the last couple of albums. It was great having guests on but we didn’t want it to be a gimmick—this time we wanted it to just be BMTH.
