Bones Lyrics
Gimme, gimme, gimme some time to think
I'm in the bathroom, looking at me
Face in the mirror is all I need (Ooh-ooh)
Wait until the reaper takes my life
Never gonna get me out alive
I will live a thousand million lives (Ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
My patience is waning, is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning, is this entertaining?
[Chorus]
I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones
[Verse 2]
Playin' with a stick of dynamitе
There was nevеr gray in black and white
There was never wrong till there was right (Ooh-ooh)
Feelin' like a boulder hurtlin'
Seein' all the vultures circlin'
Burnin' in the flames, I'm workin' in
Turnin' in a bed, that's darkenin'
My patience is waning, is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning, is this entertaining?
[Chorus]
I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (In my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause there's magic in my bones
[Bridge]
Look in the mirror of my mind
Turnin' the pages of my life
Walkin' the path so many paced a million times
Drown out the voices in the air
Leavin' the ones that never cared
Pickin' the pieces up and buildin' to the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
My patience is waning, is this entertaining?
My patience is waning, is this entertaining?
I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (Magic in my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul (Soul)
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones
[Outro]
There goes my mind, (I-I-I) don't mind
There goes my mind (There it goes, there it goes)
There goes my mind, (I-I-I) don't mind
There goes my mind (There it goes)
'Cause there's magic in my bones

Yes, “Bones” was certified platinum by the RIAA on April 7, 2023.
‘Bones’ is a reflection of my constant obsession with the finality and fragility of life,” says Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds.
I’m always in search of some evidence that will convince me that there is more to come – that life is truly eternal in some sense. Having yet to find that, I try to at least dream of what conquering death would feel like in a song.”
