"Start Here"
:[ lyrics ]:
START HERE

Heartbreak heats up with a cold sigh;
Goodbyes all start up with a “Hi!”
Downfalls are kicked off by a tug;
Indifference begins with a shrug.

Impairment begins with that first drink;
Blindness begins with that first blink.
Depression drops with that first tear;
Paranoia pops from that first fear.

One things perfectly clear:
You can start far away,
You can start pretty near.
You want to start something,
Start here.
Start here.
War wages from that first weak shove;
Obsession starts out as meek love.
Idolatry leads from a prayer;
Compulsion creeps alongside care.

Affliction follows that first scratch;
Addiction adores that first match.
Failure files in when you step back;
Poverty prowls from that first lack.

One things perfectly clear:
You can start far away,
You can start pretty near.
You want to start something,
Start here.
Start here.

Gambling goes up with a coin toss;
Persecution presents a cross.
Indecision slides in with doubt;
Apprehension pushes you out.

Bankruptcy writes that first bad check;
Deception never cuts the deck.
Hypocrisy starts with one mask;
Moral decline “Dont tell; dont ask!”

One things perfectly clear:
You can start far away,
You can start pretty near.
You want to start something,
Start here.
Start here.
Start here.
Start here.
