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

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
