Liner Notes

A consolatory response to "John the Con".

Let's call the 14-line monologue the 'Honest Sonnet'.

Lyrics

It ain't easy

To be honest

To be honest

It ain't easy

To be

To be honest


And when you wake up

The truth

Comes freely


So breathe easy

Be honest

Be. Breathe deeply

Believe me

Be

Honest

Believe me

Be honest


It was too easy, to be honest

Schoolbag down in the empty house

Intel Inside, one hand on the mouse

The guilt on the other hand didn't help

But their firewall did, and the therapy

Adult: I see less

Reality screams and weans, she helps me get clean

Kicking booze is hardest, acting out others' darkness


Cross-town train to play Hamlet, nearly stepped too soon

Director's asking "what's up"

I'm Failed, for plagiarism

This is just between us

And now I'm saying it on a song

Be honest, we've all done some things wrong


It ain't easy

To be honest

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

To be
