[Verse 1]
I pledge to the morning light
I gotta heed the way just to fall behind
Breathe and die
I say I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
Take me home tonight
Breathe and die

[Chorus]
We all gonna fall, hey hey
We fall down, we all fall down
Weep behind your eye
We fall down, we all fall down

[Verse 2]
Make my way where the sirens sleep
Take my mind and spare myself weak
Breathe and die
Say I don't care you really don't care
It's easy to die
Breathe and die

[Chorus]
We all gonna fall
We fall down, we all fall down
Weep behind your eye
We fall down, we all fall down
Done tell you want to do

[Bridge]
I try to speak my mind to you
Don't tell you what to do
Don't let it feel so lonely, oh, oh
Hope your eyes [?] the blue
When the seasons see right through you
You know, you know I'll be with you, ooh
I'll be with you, ooh (Ha!)

[Chorus]
We all gonna fall
We fall down, we all fall down
Weep behind your eye
We fall down, we all fall down

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.
