The Start
[Chorus]
Is this the start?
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
Oh, what a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something

[Verse 1]
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
When the last breath of air leaves our lungs
Oh baby, it’s just begun because

[Chorus]
This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
Oh, what a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something
[Post-Chorus]
The start of something

[Verse 2]
As advertised on the billboards
At the junction, in concert halls
We’re afflicted, but 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 because

[Chorus]
This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
Oh, what a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something

[Post-Chorus]
The start of something
[Bridge]
I'm out of luck
I'm 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
I'm out of luck
I'm 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

[Chorus]
This is the start
The start of something
Out of the dark
Born out of nothing
Oh, what a rush
I didn’t see it coming
Is this the start?
The start of something
[Post-Chorus]
The start of something
The start of something
The start of something
