“Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.”

Aimee Mann (1960) American indie rock singer-songwriter (born 1960)

"Momentum"
Song lyrics, Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (1999)
Context: 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.
