Lavender and Violets Lyrics

Stop and smell the roses

The scent is oh so potent

Live inside the moment

Cause that's where all the gold is

Lavender and violets

To calm my inner violence

I'll just close my eyelids

And breath in peace and silence

The taste of summer rain

And the absence that remains

The fall sweeps it away

And the cold comes out to play

Be as it may

I've been lost in my pain

Take it away

So I can see the light of day

The haze of winter days

And the frostbite that remains

By the fireplace

The warmth instills a change

Be as it may

I'm off to better days

I won't waste away

Inside a holographic maze

Stop and smell the roses

The scent is oh so potent

Live inside the moment

Cause that's where all the gold is

Lavender and violets

To calm my inner violence

I'll just close my eyelids

And breath in peace and silence

Stop and smell the roses

The scent is oh so potent

Live inside the moment

Cause that's where all the gold is

Lavender and violets

To calm my inner violence

I'll just close my eyelids

And breath in peace and silence

The darkness now at bay

And I am what remains

I found a higher place

To watch the ocean waves

Be as it may

The tide sweeps all away

This is the way

I'm breaking free of all my chains

The blaze my fears create

They swallowed me whole for days

I could not escape

The horrors my mind had made

Be as it may

I'm letting go today

I'll go spend my days

Inside a wonderland of play

Stop and smell the roses

The scent is oh so potent

Live inside the moment

Cause that's where all the gold is

Lavender and violets

To calm my inner violence

I'll just close my eyelids

And breath in peace and silence

Stop and smell the roses

The scent is oh so potent

Live inside the moment

Cause that's where all the gold is

Lavender and violets

To calm my inner violence

I'll just close my eyelids

And breath in peace and silence
