Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes (Official Music Video)
Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling is vulturous
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
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Break me down and build me up
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
'Cause I love how it feels
Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough from the particle sum
I was born to run, I was born for this
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Break me down and build me up
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
'Cause I love how it feels
Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical
Hypothetical, working onto something that I'm proud of
Out of the box an epoxy to the world
And the vision we've lost
I'm just a symbol to remind you
I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half diseased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body of my soul to be a part of me
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
'Cause I love how it feels
Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are 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
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
At the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
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
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 that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
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
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of
the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me,
Singing from heartache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the
you made me a believer, believer
you build me up, believer, believer
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, they came from
you made me a believer, believer
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard
Has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the clouds
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived,
ebbing and flowing inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and it rained down
you made me a believer, believer
you build me up, believer, believer
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, they came from
you made me a believer, believer
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future,
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived,
ebbing and flowing inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and it rained down
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
you build me up, believer, believer
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, they came from
you made me a believer, believer
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, and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa
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
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flag, dye my clothes
It's a revolution I suppose
I'm breaking in, and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa
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
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
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
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Oh hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year
And terrors don’t prey on innocent victims
Trust me, darlin', trust me, darlin'
It’s been a loveless year
I'm a man of three fears
Integrity, faith and crocodile tears
Trust me, darlin', trust me, darlin'
So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape it
I don't want to fake it
I wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar
Bad liar
Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I’ve been asking
Oh, I’ve been asking for problems, problems, problems
I wage my war on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I’ve been asking (trust me darlin')
Oh, I've been asking for problems, problems, problems (trust me darlin')
So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape it
I don’t want to fake it
I wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar
Bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
I'm a bad liar
Bad liar
Now you know
You're free to go
I can't breathe
I can't be
I can't be what you want me to be
Believe me this one time, believe me
I'm a bad liar
Bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
I'm a bad liar
Bad liar
Now you know
You're free to go
Please believe me
Please believe me
