Eyes Closed Lyrics – Imagine Dragons

[Intro: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
I can do this with my eyes closed
Turn out the lights, yo

[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
I’m back from the dead, from the back of my head
Been gone and facing horrors that should never be said
The wrath and the grit from the pit of despair
Been taking every whip and word, I’ve never been spared

[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
They say tomorrow’s never promised, honest
They say that angels are among us
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
Lock me up in a maze (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
I was born, I was raised for this (Oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh-oh, oh, oh, turn out the lights, yo)
Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don’t worry ’bout me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands, put it in coast

[Post-Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
I can do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
I can do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights, oh)

[Verse 2: J Balvin]
La tormenta no ha podido sacudir mi palma (Ah)
Tengo a Dios peleando contra el diablo por mi alma
Soy la luz del tunel que da calma
Y los que dieron la espalda se les vio la falda (Así son)
Me echaron a los leones, ahora soy dueño ‘el circo (Circo)
Batallo con ojos cerra’os como Shaka de Virgo
Si la puedes creer antes de ver, parcero
Yo no nací pa’ perder, yeah
Yo soy libre, soy la llave del lock
Soy guitarra de rock
Puede parar el beat, pero nunca mi voz (Nunca)
Sí, y haciendo trampa el enemigo ganó (Yah)
Prometió un peso y nunca me pagó

[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
Lock me up in a maze (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh, oh, oh-oh, leggo)
I was born, I was raised for this (Oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh-oh, oh, turn out the lights, yo; Turn out, turn out the lights)
Lock me up inside a cage (Oh-oh)
Just throw away the key, don’t worry ’bout me
I was driving in my car, throwing up my hands, put it in coast

[Post-Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
I can do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
A mí no me ves el miedo, let’s go, go, go
Turn out, turn out the lights
I can do this with my eyes—

[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
Every minute and I’m ready to go, got it under control (Oh-oh)
Light it up and then load, killer coming to close
Keep it down on the low (Keep it down on the low)
Trust, you will know (Lock me up inside)

[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
Lock me up in a maze (Oh-oh, oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh, oh, oh-oh, turn out the lights)
I was born, I was raised for this (Oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh-oh, oh, oh, turn out the lights, yo; Turn out, turn out the lights)
Lock me up inside a cage (Oh-oh)
Just throw away the key, don’t worry ’bout me
Ando en el carro por ahí, suelto por ahí, no me ven venir

[Post-Chorus: Dan Reynolds & J Balvin]
I can do this with my eyes closed (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A mí no me ves el miedo, let’s go, go, go (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Turn out, turn out the lights (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I can, I can do this with my eyes closed
Turn out, turn out the lights
A mí no me ves el miedo, let’s go, go, go
Turn out, turn out the lights
I can, I can do this with my eyes closed
