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.
