Imagine Dragons – Hopeless Opus Lyrics

Hey Mr. cage man let me get a fresh breath¹
Cherry bomb head strong I could fake my own death
Hey Mr. fate man shuffle me a ninth life²
I’ve been wrong, go long
throwing me a sharp right³
It’s not a picture perfect life⁴
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line⁵

I’ve got this place
That I’ve filled with empty space⁶
Oh I’m trying not to face what I’ve done⁷
My hopeless opus⁸
I’m in this race and I’m hoping just to place⁹
Oh I’m trying not to face what’s become of me¹⁰
My hopeless opus

Hey Mr. safe man hustle me an okay
I could slide take a dive take it for the home team¹¹
Hey Mr. postman slip me one more green note
I’ve been low hit the floor looking just to make broke¹²
It’s not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line¹³

I’ve got this place
That I’ve filled with empty space
Oh I’m trying not to face what I’ve done
My hopeless opus
I’m in this race and I’m hoping just to place
Oh I’m trying not to face what’s become of me
My hopeless opus

Hey Mr.
Hey Mr.
Hey Mr. cage man
Cherry bomb
Let me get
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb¹⁴

I’ve got this place
That I’ve filled with empty space
Oh I’m trying not to face what I’ve done
My hopeless opus
I’m in this race and I’m hoping just to place
Oh I’m trying not to face what’s become of me
My hopeless opus¹⁵
