What will make my life worth living with ‘The Great Pain’ that’s yet to come? I’ve stewed I’ve mused my mind’s diffused all the good things that I’ve done … I could split the atom … I could heal all cancers … I could solve World Wars … or a formula for happiness But my mind still fuses in loops and confusions, chasing impossible goals and wishful delusions… To make my life worth living…? To make my life worth living…? To make my life worth living…? STOP! Wait. Recalibrate… New sights New sounds New people New towns I do have a life worth living… And I ****** LOVE IT !!

A Life Worth Living - The Reprise
What will make my life worth living with ‘The Great Pain’ that’s yet to come? I’ve stewed I’ve mused my mind’s diffused all the good things that I’ve done … I could split the atom … I could heal all cancers … I could solve World Wars … or a formula for happiness But my mind still fuses in loops and confusions, chasing impossible goals and wishful delusions… To make my life worth living…? To make my life worth living…? To make my life worth living…? STOP! Wait. Recalibrate… New sights New sounds New people New towns I do have a life worth living… And I ****** LOVE IT !!
An updated version of ‘Scatterbrained’
