The Start

Is this the start?
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
What a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something

Guns for hire
Deep in the city
Kept awake
By a siren symphony
We’re addicted
But disenchanted
Is this living?
What a pity
But late at night
Is when the streets come alive
When our work is done
And we’ve just survived
With the last breath of air leaves our lungs
It’s just begun

This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
What a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something

As advertised
On the billboards
At the junction
In concert halls
We’re afflicted
Incandescent
With the moment
With the present
But late at night
Is when the machine comes to life
The engines purring
The lights burn bright
Oh yeah, when the sun goes down
That’s when the alarm will sound

This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
What a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something

I'm out of luck
Im out of line
I'm bored of wasting time
I'm out of touch
And I don’t believe
That I’m one of a kind
I’m boiling over
Catching fire
And out of nothing
The start of something

This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
What a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something
