Take Your Time

Are they breathing down your neck
Are you worrying what comes next
There are a million ways to stress
But today looks mighty fine
It'd be a shame to let that slip by
Have a deep breath and open your eyes

Take your time, look around yourself
Describe what you see

If you're chasing down fame or wealth
You should take a break and ask yourself
When did you last care about your own mental health
It can be hard to notice the signs
Of the wear on a stressed out mind
When you spend your life chasing the light

Take your time, look outside yourself
Try not to think
Smell the trees, hear the birds, breathe the air
You're on your way, you'll get there
Take your time patiently

Take your time and let go
But that can be easier said than done though
Sometimes stress and fear can creep into your mind
You know you want to get back
But your senses won't relax
You won't always feel like things will be alright
The clock ticks, the clock spits anxiety
And fog, sinking slithering spreading, it's all surrounding me
I've gotta get away gotta get away, so I race to get ahead
But I only end up getting deeper and deeper instead
I need to calm down, I need a deep breath
Need to step into the world that's outside my head
My last thoughts leave, I slowly realize
The peace of mind I needed was here the whole time

Take your time, look outside yourself
Try not to think
Smell the trees, hear the birds, breathe the air
You're on your way, you'll get there
Take your time, yeah, take your time
