Slow Your Breath Down
Future of Forestry Lyrics

This chest is full of memories, of gold and silver tears
There are many experiences and emotions that I have stored up over time, and some of them have been especially valuable and meaningful to me.

I'll give you more to own than all of this
I have something of value that I want to share with you, something that is even more precious and worthwhile than my own personal memories and feelings.

And I'll give you more than years
What I am offering you is something that transcends time and space, something that has the power to enrich your life beyond the ordinary moments and events that mark our days here on earth.

For you were once a child of innocence
You have a natural purity and goodness within you that I believe is still there, waiting to be rediscovered and nurtured.

And I see you just the same
Despite the mistakes and struggles that you may have experienced along the way, I still recognize and cherish the essential beauty and goodness that is uniquely yours.

Your burdens couldn't win or lose a thing
The challenges and obstacles that you have faced in your life have not diminished your inherent worth or your ability to triumph over adversity.

Oh, I'd tell you once again
I am eager to reassure you of my love and support, and to remind you of the precious value that you possess.

But you're always on the run
Despite my reassurances and affirmations, I understand that you may still feel restless or anxious, seeking to escape from something that you find troubling or scary.

Slow your breath down, just take it slow
Perhaps what you need most is to slow down, to take a few deep breaths, and to focus on the present moment rather than constantly seeking to escape it.

Find your heart now, oh
By tapping into your innermost feelings and emotions, you may be able to discover hidden reserves of strength and self-compassion that can help you face whatever challenges lie ahead.

You can trust and love again, oh
If you can learn to trust in yourself and in the goodness of others, you may find that you have the capacity to love and be loved in a deeper and more profound way than ever before.

If you leave I'll still be close to you,
Even if you choose to walk away or seek new horizons, I will always be there for you, a steady presence that you can rely upon in times of need or uncertainty.

When all your fears rain down
I recognize that the world can be a scary and unpredictable place, and that you may sometimes feel overwhelmed or frightened by the forces that you cannot control.

I'll take you back a thousand times again
No matter how many times you may stumble, or how far you may wander, I will always be ready and willing to welcome you back into my heart and my life.

And I'll take you as my own
You belong to me, as surely as I belong to you; we are connected in ways that transcend the mere passing of time or the shifting of circumstances.

I would sing you songs of innocence
In my heart, you will always be that innocent, trusting child that I once knew, and I will try to nurture and cherish that part of you as long as I live.

'Til the light of morning comes
No matter how long or dark the night may seem, there is always the promise of a new day, a new beginning, and a new chance to start fresh and pursue our dreams.

'Til the rays of gold and honey cover you
I hope that one day you will bask in the radiant sunshine, feeling the warm embrace of a loving community and the sweetness of a life well-lived.

In the sweetness of the dawn
Perhaps that moment of sweetness will come at the break of a new day, when everything seems fresh and new and full of promise and hope.

You're now a part of me
In some profound and meaningful way, you have become an integral part of my own identity and experience, and for that I am deeply grateful.

You feel the cure
I hope that my presence and my love can act as a healing balm for the pain and confusion that you may sometimes feel in your heart.

I'll feel the toil it brought you
I understand that life can be hard, and that you may sometimes feel weary and beaten down by the challenges that you face. But I am here to support you and to help carry your burdens, whenever they may become too much for you to bear on your own.
