[Chorus]
Oh, dig my shallow grave
'Cause it's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause

[Verse 1]
Wait, all this time that I have spent away
Makes me think that I might be okay
The kiss of death will have to wait
My head is holding on to all those things you said
You taught me to be strong and get through it
The mist of darkness in my head

[Chorus]
Oh, dig my shallow grave
'Cause it's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause

[Verse 2]
Wait, no one said what's lost cannot be found
You are here to make it safe and sound
Oh, we can make it out alive
Fate, hath its way when all that's learned is sin
Nothing really matters in the end
As long as you are with me, friend

[Chorus]
Oh, dig my shallow grave
'Cause it's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause

[Bridge]
No one can understand me
Like you can understand
No one can fill your shadow
'Cause you are all I am

[Chorus]
Oh, dig my shallow grave
'Cause it's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
