A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free

I'm floating in a black balloon
OD on Easter afternoon
My momma told me,
"Baby stay clean, there's no in between."

All you ladies and you gentlemen
Between's all you've ever seen or been,
Fit poorly and and arrange the sight
Doll it up in virgin white.

You disappoint me
You people raking in on the world
The devil's script sells
You the heart of a blackbird.

Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.

Sun rising on a chopping glare
Rain dropping acid blotter in the air
A Distorted reality's now a necessity
To be free.

So disappointing,
First I put it all down to luck
God knows why my
Country don't give a fuck (fuck).

Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.
Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.
