 [Hyper Sniper - verse 1]

 I woke up with 2 different choices,
 Go get a refill or cancel the appointment
 I chose the latter, hit the road and scattered
 Broke and shattered dreams of me in soldier battle
 Below the chapel, cold cadaver froze and baffled
 After misquotin chapters spokin backwards
 No jokin matter, but sober laughter
 Got me thinkin I'm the youngest worm in the oldest apple
 I'm not cryin, but the tears leakin out
 I'm freakin out, retreatin down beneath the ground
 Heart beatin loud, no speakin sounds from a bleedin mouth
 But I think I'm really breathin now
 Time passed, climb back to the surface
 Stay alert and listen, learnin how many's lurkin
 It seems worthless, ya think this is workin?
 I'll keep breathin if I figure out the purpose


 [Hyper Sniper - verse 2]

 You know what now?
 I think I found the secret the town is keepin,
 Below all the gravel and pounds of cement
 I discovered it and now I'll keep it
 It's a colorful five-petal flower deep in the rich soil,
 And it's got life inside it
 But how the fuck does it grow with no light shinin?
 With no light shinin, how do I see it?
 What am I thinkin? This is like dreamin
 I wanna bring home the little guy
 But I'm afraid if I pick the flower it'll die,
 Turn brittle and dry, become sweet nothin
 But I don't want that, cause I think it means somethin
 Maybe it's tellin me life get's dark,
 But you still can find beauty inside your heart
 Maybe it's tellin me time is lost
 Cause the flowers still bloom when ya buried inside ya box


 [Hyper Sniper - outro]

 That's right. The darkness is society, the flower is ya destiny.
 Choose your path. Don't pick the flower, the flower picks you.
 Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ross. I thank you for listening.
 I'm out.. go find the flower
