I'm floating through the Spirit Realm, trying to find proof of Heaven or Hell

One little thing to set me off, and
A minor trigger can lead to a negative response, turning the "shine jar" (positive energy) upside down.
I turn my shine jar upside down
When triggered, the narrator becomes rowdy and loud, expressing gratitude to Hank Jr.
Get rowdy rough, yelling loud, Thanks Hank Jr.
Despite the challenges, there is no intention to settle down or give up.
But we ain't Settling down
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, drinking until dawn, and seeking solace in the night sky.
I get fucked up, drink till dawn, Hanging out with the moon and stars
Reflecting on life and attempting to find meaning, expressing love for family.
Trying to make sense of this life. Kiss my wife and daughter on the Cheek goodnight
Going to bars with a new perspective and tools for life improvement.
