[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

[Chorus]
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Everything you touch turns to gold-

[Breakdown]
Gold
Gold

[Verse 2]
Statues and empires are all at your hands
Water to wine and the finest of sands
When all that you have's turning stale and it's cold
You'll no longer feel when your heart's turned to gold

[Pre-Chorus]
Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

[Chorus]
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Everything you touch turns to gold-

[Breakdown]
Gold
Gold

[Bridge]
I'm dying to feel again
Anything at all
But I feel nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

[Breakdown]
Gold

[Outro]
When everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold gold
Everything, everything
Everything you touch turns to gold, gold

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.
