Al, LAST NAME, Most

here but not quite there so many scars but no more tears numb and sober, sunken dry pushed to the limit, no more tears to cry Al, last name Most almost there but not quite a victory but no toast a party with no host Accolades but invisible, so you're unable to boast Al, when you could've kissed her, Most Al, you should've had sex with multiple women in your prime, Most Al, you were supposed to be a six year old music prodigy, Most Al, you could've been the greatest, Most All the wonder you gingerly embrace For disappointment is a truth you have to face the woulda's, shoulda's, coulda's Regrets that breed sorrow so you live in the past, with no tomorrow Al, should've been an A-Student, Most Al, should've saved a love, Most Al, could've been rich, Most Al, I could've stretched my talents, most Al, I could've been kinder and more giving, Most And all the early cummers disgust the filth out of you The self-hate is the only consistent emotion that sees you through Success is the master of your enslavement And the fear deep inside is that you never looked long enough in the mirror but then you're too dead to know about reflection But then you're too dead to know about sunshine Weakness is all that is sublime So you preach words of under-achievement and your wits are an under-statement Only there's no cheque to cash your misguided wisdom and your name is Al Most. Occupation: Nothing Happening Residence: Nowhere near there ID No: 0 Al Most doesn't count.
