Listen to **WARNING LABEL**

## Theme

The song is about telling people to accept you the way you are, warning labels and all.

*"The song is about putting your red flags upfront and telling people to accept you for exactly who you are. The song is about embracing who you are, flaws and all. It's about not only accepting the things about you that aren't perfect, but loving them and learning to embrace them. I don't know about you guys, but I struggle with some anxieties. I feel like a lot of people do, and so I think that the particular red flag we zoom in on in this one is anxiety and living your life maybe a little more high-strung than the average person. It's a struggle, and it is a motivator, and it is terrifying, and it is a part of who I am. But you have to learn to love it because it's that little demon on your shoulder that will never go away, and the people in your life should learn to love you for exactly how you are, which is what the song is all about. It's just that one part of you that may never go away, but you can learn to work with and to embrace, even if it is a struggle."*

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My brain is a little bit toxic

You should be cautious

It's kind of obnoxious

Honest

Wish I could turn it off like a faucet

But I can't, can't

Could someone turn down the brightness

Can't take the devices

I'm already blinded

By my life when I'm just trying but there's no light switch to turn off the lightning

[Pre-Chorus]

Baby baby you can't save me

Learned to love the hell I'm raising

Maybe maybe I'm just crazy

Or maybe I'm the only one saying it

Or maybe I'm the only one saying

[Chorus]

My cards on the table

I might be unstable

I should've been born with a warning label

From coffin to the cradle

Got demons I got angels

I should’ve been born with a warning label

[Verse 2]

I guess I should be a chemist

I push all the limits

So many chemical reactions

Should be in guinness

World record menace

Ha like I said from the beginning

I'm not really the type to vibe and chill in the serenity

I don't think my update has that capability

I'm more like a guillotine

Cutting off any thought that could ever bring me any peace

Of mind

I'm more like a landmine

Hear the click click when you find

Now it's time

To downfall to my oblivion

Can you give me a synonym

For the pain and suffering that I’ve been living in?

[Pre-Chorus]

Baby baby you can't save me

Learned to love the hell I'm raising

Maybe maybe I'm just crazy

Or maybe I'm the only one saying it

Or maybe I'm the only one saying

[Chorus]

My cards on the table

I might be unstable

I should've been born with a warning label

From coffin to the cradle

Got demons I got angels

I should've been born with a warning label

[Outro]

From coffin to the cradle

Got demons I got angels

I should've been born with a warning label

## Trivia
