If you think about it, a tombstone is kind of like a biography... that would fit in a twitter post.

lyrics

Woke up this morning with my tombstone in my bed
Woke up this morning I was dead
Woke up this morning with my tombstone in my bed
Got up this morning I was absolutely dead

And on my tombstone was the story of my life
A bit too scant to be a book
And on my tombstone was the story of my life
I couldn't help it, I just had to take a look

It said that I was born in the suburbs
And grew up watching the TV
It said that I was still in college at the age of forty-three

It said my masterpiece just went to chapter three
The pages were rotting in a vault
It said relationships were difficult for me
Though my divorce was not entirely my fault

You could say that I was crushed
By the dead weight of these words
My paltry life appeared so rushed
Epigraphy is for the birds

Woke up this morning with my tombstone in my bed
Woke up this morning I was dead
Woke up this morning with my tombstone in my bed
I guess I died when it landed on my head
