Lyrics:

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
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.

Instrumental Verse 3:

Instrumental Chorus:

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
