An Honest Memoire

Measure your days by the bottles,
And your weeks by the lovers,
Success by the lies that have gone undiscovered,
Weigh fame by the fans that you think that you have,
And why not include all your shitty song covers?

Count up all the tears that you’ve watched hit the floor,
This number will tell you your heart-breaker score.
If your fear of the truth hasn’t halted you yet,
If you’re brave and you haven’t yet put down your pen,
Then write down the times that you’ve turned on the door,
That held opportunities you chose to ignore.

Add up all your cheating, your deception and flaws,
And now, there you have it; an honest memoire.
