"Lavender Oil" lyrics

A two bedroom apartment with four people crammed inside
Balcony for shelter overhead
A tennis match of cancer played across our tiny beds
I dare to God to quicken our demise

And it's not simple growing towards the rising sun
But I'm glad I had a partner in my soil
The memories rush back and my heartbeat briefly stunned
With the smell of lavender oil
And I'm not one who usually stays around to stick the landing
I'll let stories, close their covers in my absence
Stuck on that old bookshelf full of tomes you'll get to read in
But I don't think I can put this one down

So guarantee me comfort, promise that you'll never change
Driving your blue Hyundai like a hellcat
'Cause our lives are like a puzzle that we have to rearrange
Pieces will connect and I know that

But it's hard to find a path towards the greatness you deserve
Gotta fan the flames to make the water boil
And piercing through the smoke, something pungent strikes a nerve
With the smell of lavender oil
And I'm not one who usually stays around to stick the landing
I'll let stories close their covers in my absence
Stuck on that old bookshelf full of tomes you'll get to read in
But I don't think I can put this one down

The road bends, the opium dens can catch us by surprise
Lulling us into an easy sleep
But a thousand miles away I know not to close my eyes
Made a promise I would meet you at the peak

Of this mountain we're climbing despite the freezing winds
So I push through each mounting turmoil
And my senses they long just to catch that scent again
The smell of lavender oil

The smell of lavender oil
The smell of lavender oil
The smell of lavender oil
