Citizens
Past
[Verse 1]
Time is a world unto itself
Just a graceless ringing bell
You try to buy but it won't sell
Straight down the track, no going back

[Verse 2]
Life is just a breath before the ground
The sun is up then rushes down
Is there a purpose to be found?
Straight down the track, no going back

[Chorus]
Can't make it stop
Can't slow it down
Nothing to do but let it push me around
I can't keep it still
I can't turn it back
Barely a blink before it's all in the past
I'm fading so fast

[Verse 3]
Look, beyond the sun, beyond the clouds
Is there a life still to be found?
Don’t want to spark then just fade out
Straight down the track, I’m not going back
[Chorus]
Can't make it stop
Can't slow it down
Nothing to do but let it push me around
I can't keep it still
I can't turn it back
Barely a blink before it's all in the past
I'm fading so fast

[Interlude]
I'm on my knees crying out
I need You to save me
I see a light, I hear a sound
"You're all right, I got you now"
Here in the face of all my doubt
These burdens are lifting up
I was lost, but now I’m found
And I'm looking on and on and on and on

[Chorus]
I don't want to stop
I'm not slowing down
Nothing to do but lay it all on the ground
I can't keep still
I'm not turning back
Barely a blink before this moment is past
But the future will last
[Outro]
You're all that I have
I'm not turning back
You're all that I have
I'm not turning back
