What if Bad Habits was HEAVY?
I wanted to hear what the famed Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon collab would have been if Bring Me was let loose to go heavier, in the vain of Post Human, so, I made it.
This Month's Creative Challenge is to take a song outside your genre, and re-create it in your genre, while applying and digging into production techniques that you’ve always wanted to try. Share your creations and tell us what tools you used and how!

LYRICS:
Vrs 1
Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
And tonight had something wonderful
Pre
My bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin' this will be the last, but it probably won't
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I'll lose control of the things *that I say*
Yeah, I was lookin' for a way out, now *I can't escape*
Nothin' happens after *two, it's true, It's true,*
My bad habits lead to you
Chorus
My bad habits lead to you
Bad habits lead to you,
My bad habits lead to you,
My bad habits lead to you,
Vrs 2
Every pure intention ends when the good times start
Fallin' over everything to reach the first time's spark
It started under neon lights, and then it all got dark
I only know how to go too far
[PRE]
Bridge
We took the long way 'round
And burned 'til the fun ran out, now
We took the long way 'round
And burned 'til the fun ran out, now
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
