Story Behind The Song
After so many ups and own in the music business you find yourself in a different place than your friends and siblings who took more gentrified approaches to their lives. The fact is, if you are honest with yourself, you can admit that you knew going after the brass ring was a risk. One of the main themes of the Goodbye July EP is the realization that life is tough and that's OK. IT shouldn't stop you from trying to do what makes you happy.
Song Description
A crafty loop and interweaving guitars are the signature elements of this song. The empowering chorus explains any doubts about the message of the song - Consider Yourself Warned. Some get what they want, others are forced to give up when they're oh so close and others just keep pushing until they're feeding the worms. The ones that never try at all have trouble sleeping. So keep pushing and stop complaining!

Lyrics
Consider Yourself Warned
keep pushing the envelope
grind through it as though it matters so
and if your resolve tanks out if your well runs dry
if life won't clarify
don't beat yourself up just walk away
but you better come pick it up another day
(CHORUS)
if the best you can's a
waste of time and you're running out of
alibis consider yourself warned if the
game is fixed and the odds are stacked
still you push and find you're further
back consider yourself warned
although you feel like you might pass out
your execution stayed
balancing on a razorblade
you could get caught holding out
for something more
while the best of us smash right through the door
CHORUS
gluttons for punishment
that's all we really are
assuming next time's always better
see you in eternity
i just hope you remember me...
CHORUS
