Oh, for the sake of momentum   I've allowed my fears to get larger than life   And it's brought me to my current agendum   Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive      And I know life is getting shorter   I can't bring myself to set the scene   Even when it's approaching torture   I've got my routine      Oh, for the sake of momentum   Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day   But I hate to think of effort expended   All those minutes and days and hours   I have frittered away.      And I know life is getting shorter   I can't bring myself to set the scene   Even when it's approaching torture   I've got my routine      But I can't confront the doubts I have   I can't admit that maybe the past was bad   And so, for the sake of momentum   I'm condemning the future to death   So it can match the past.      when I can't confront the doubts I have   I can't admit that maybe the past was bad   And so, for the sake of momentum   I'm condemning the future to death   So it can match the past.
