[Verse 1]
Everything you say is just a lie and now I'm leaving
To the city where the people are awake to chase a dream that isn't real
And we're 'posed to be something that we're not
Just wanna change a lot and sign our name after the dot
Everything you see is just a century of anarchy
All my corresponding colors that symbolize the things we can attest
Arrange, we can assess, we can attain
We are the entry for entities to entice and entertain

[Chorus]
All eyes, they're on you
Don't deny, you've got to
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me

[Verse 2]
Take my side
Take my side, don't look back
Now I'm easy and that's a fact
And you're on my mind, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything you say is just a lie and now I'm leaving
To the city where the people are awake to chase a dream that isn't real
And we're 'posed to be something that we're not
Just wanna change and sign our name after the dot

[Chorus]
All eyes, they're on you
Don't deny, you've got to
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me

[Bridge]
Now will the sun come up tonight?
Because your eyes they burn so bright
I'm all you've got, when you say that you want it all
You want it all

[Chorus]
All eyes, they're on you
Don't deny, you've got to
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me
All eyes, they're on you
Don't deny, you've got to
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me
This is a call, that's all you'll ever get from me

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.
