Verse 1:
   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
  
   Chorus:
   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
  
   Verse 2:
   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.
  
   Chorus
  
   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
  
   Bridge 1:
   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.
  
   Bridge 2:
   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.
