I'm waking up to ash and dust.I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust.I'm breathing in the chemicals.I'm breaking in, shaping up,Checking out on the prison bus.This is it, the apocalypse – whoa.
Radioactive, written by Imagine Dragons, Alexander Grant, and Josh Mosser
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones,Enough to make my systems blow.Welcome to the new age, to the new age.Welcome to the new age, to the new age.Whoa, whoa – I'm radioactive, radioactive.
Radioactive
In the morning lightLet my roots take flight.Watch me fall aboveLike a vicious dove.They don't see me come.Who can blame them?
Tiptoe
I don't ever wanna let you down;I don't ever wanna leave this town.'Cause after all,This city never sleeps at night.It's time to begin, isn't it?I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admitI'm just the same as I was.Now don't you understand?That I'm never changing who I am.
It's Time
When the days are cold and the cards all foldAnd the saints we see are all made of gold.When your dreams all fail and the ones we hailAre the worst of all and the blood's run stale.I want to hide the truth, I want to shelter you,But with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide.No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed.This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come.
Demons, written by Imagine Dragons, Alexander Grant, and Josh Mosser
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes.It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.Don't get too close, it's dark inside.It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.
Demons
They say it's what you make, I say it's up to fate.It's woven in my soul, I need to let you go.Your eyes, they shine so bright, I want to save their light.I can't escape this now, unless you show me how.
Demons
'Cause I'm on top of the world, hey;I'm on top of the world, hey.Waiting for this for a while now,Paying my dues to the dirt.I've been waiting to smile, hey;Been holding it in for a while, hey.Take it with me if I can,Been dreaming of this since a child.
On Top of the World, written by Imagine Dragons and Alexander Grant
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it.It's hard, believe me, I've tried,But I keep coming up short.
Amsterdam
Try to hear my voice.You can leave, it's your choice.Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right.Maybe if I leave tonight, I won't come back.
Hear Me
I'm bleeding out.So if the last thing that I doIs bring you down,I'll bleed out for you.So I bare my skinAnd I count my sins,And I close my eyes,And I take it in.
Bleeding Out
When the day has comeThat I’ve lost my way aroundAnd the seasons stopAnd hide beneath the ground,When the sky turns grayAnd everything is screaming,I will reach insideJust to find my heart is beating.
Bleeding Out
Smoke + Mirrors (2015)
Am I out of touch? Am I out of my place?When I keep sayin' that I'm lookin' for an empty space.Oh I'm wishin' you're here, but I'm wishin' you're gone.
Shots
First comes a blessing of all that you've dreamed,But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings.Only at first did it have its appeal,But now you can't tell the false from the real.
Gold, written by Imagine Dragons and Alexander Grant
So you gotta fire up, you gotta let go.You'll never be loved till you’ve made your own.You gotta face up, you gotta get yours.You never know the top till you get too low.
I'm So Sorry
I know I took the pathThat you would never want for me.I know I let you down, didn't I?So many sleepless nightsWhere you were waiting up on me.Well I'm just a slave unto the night.
I Bet My Life
I've been around the world,And never in my wildest dreamsWould I come running home to you.I've told a million lies, butNow I tell a single truth:There's you in everything I do.
I Bet My Life

There's something about the way that you always see the pretty viewOverlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless.And still you, still you want meI got no innocence, faith ain't no privilegeI am a deck of cards, vice or a game of heartsAnd still you, still you want me.
Next to Me, written by Imagine Dragons and Alexander Grant
Falling too fast to prepare for this,Tripping in the world could be dangerous.Everybody circling, it's vulturous,Negative, nepotist.Everybody waiting for the fall of man,Everybody praying for the end of times,Everybody hoping they could be the one,I was born to run, I was born for this.
Whatever It Takes, written by Imagine Dragons and Joel Little
Whatever it takes.'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins.I do whatever it takes.'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains.
Whatever It Takes
I was broken from a young ageTaking my sulking to the massesWriting my poems for the fewThat look to me, took to me, shook to me, feeling meSinging from heartache from the painTaking my message from the veinsSpeaking my lesson from the brainSeeing the beauty through the...Pain!You made me a, you made me a believer, believer.Pain!You break me down and build me up, believer, believer.
Believer, written by Imagine Dragons, Robin Fredriksson, Mattias Larsson, and Justin Tranter
Do you feel the same when I'm away from you?Do you know the line that I'd walk for you?We could turn around and we could give it up,But we'll take what comes, take what comes.Oh, the storm is raging against us now.If you're afraid of falling, then don't look down.But we took the step, oh, we took the leap,And we'll take what comes, take what comes.
Walking the Wire, written by Imagine Dragons, Robin Fredriksson, Mattias Larsson, and Justin Tranter
Just a young gun with a quick fuse,I was uptight, wanna let loose.I was dreaming of bigger thingsAnd wanna leave my old life behind.Not a yessir, not a follower,Fit the box, fit the mold.Have a seat in the foyer, take a number,I was lightning before the thunder.
Thunder, written by Imagine Dragons, Alexander Grant, and Jayson DeZuzio
Kids were laughing in my classes,While I was scheming for the masses.Who do you think you are?Dreaming 'bout being a big star.They say you're basic, they say you're easy,You're always riding in the backseat.Now I'm smiling from the stage,While you were clapping in the nose bleeds.
Thunder
Took your heart, took your hand, Promise you all that I had Hoping that you understandFar from a perfect manCause honey it’s been a hard yearSeems like we’re going nowhere
‘’ I’ll make it up to you’’
