[Verse 1]
My calloused hands
My crippled wings
My calloused hands, my crippled wings, they bring you in

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, woah
Your crowded hair falls down a narrow hallway

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, oh surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, oh surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Verse 2]
Your scribbled masterpiece
And written poetry

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, woah
A sky of hands that rains down heavy on us

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, oh surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, oh surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Bridge]
Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along a flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
We're begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down
Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along a flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
I'm begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down

[Outro]
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky

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.
