Momentum
[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

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Spoken fade]
"Compared to the hell on wheels I used to be....
Is that with two Fs?"
