Believer
BEDROOM - Imagine Dragons Lyrics

First things first
To start with, it's important

I'ma say all the words inside my head
I will express all the thoughts and emotions I have bottled up

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
I'm passionate and exhausted by the current state of affairs

The way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way life has been going

Second thing second
Next, another important point

Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
Don't try to dictate what you believe I am capable of

I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
I am in control of my own destiny

The master of my sea, oh-ooh
In control of my own life

I was broken from a young age
I experienced emotional pain and trauma from an early stage in life

Taking my sulking to the masses
Expressing my sadness and dissatisfaction to the world

Writing my poems for the few
Creating my art for a select group of people

That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Those who see, appreciate, and are moved by my work

Singing from heartache, from the pain
Expressing my emotions of heartbreak and suffering through song

Taking my message from the veins
Drawing inspiration from my innermost emotions and experiences

Speaking my lesson from the brain
Sharing the lessons I've learned through rational thought

Seeing the beauty through the
Recognizing the beauty in

(Pain)
The pain I've endured

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You caused me to believe in myself and my abilities

You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
You both hurt and inspire me, making me stronger in the end

Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
Allow the challenges and difficulties to come at me

My life, my love, my drive, it came from
My passion, determination, and motivation originated in

Third things third
Moving on to the next important point

Send a prayer to the ones up above
Offer a prayer to a higher power

All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
The negativity and criticism you've experienced has transformed your spirit into something peaceful

Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
Your soul or essence in the realm above

I was choking in the crowd
I felt suffocated and overwhelmed by the masses

Building my rain up in the cloud
Creating my own emotional storm within

Falling like ashes to the ground
Crashing down, losing hope

Hoping my feelings, they would drown
Desiring for my emotions to be washed away

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
However, my emotions never disappeared completely, they always fluctuated

Inhibited, limited
Hindered, constrained

'Til it broke open and rained down
Until everything burst open and poured out

It rained down, like
It came pouring down, similar to

Last things last
Finally, the last point to mention

By the grace of the fire and the flames
Through the divine blessings of passion and intensity

You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
You represent the future and are the life force that drives me

The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
Symbolizing the vital energy within me

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Yet, despite the ups and downs, they never completely disappeared

Inhibited, limited
Constrained, restricted

'Til it broke open and rained down
Until everything burst open and poured out

It rained down, like
It came pouring down, similar to

Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
Allow the challenges and difficulties to come at me

My life, my love, my drive, it came from
My passion, adoration, and motivation originated in

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You caused me to believe in myself and my abilities
