The Diamond Geezer


He wears a logo

Of a diamond,

Scared into his skin,

He knows he’ll never,

Afford a real one

But his arm will hold the image

Until he jumps off

This journey called life.

 

Doodles with every dream,

Day dream and heartache

Whimsy and fashion covers

His fleash.

His tailored hair

And a disk in his lobe

Show’s he’s vain enough

To take some pain

For vanity.

 

He wears amour

To show and hide and what he is

For every doodle

Tells a story

Of what he loved last week

But scribbles over a soul

And when he wants to shed a life

He’s not a snake,

He can’t shed his skin.

  1. That's quite good, although slightly disjointed - I would stick to the tattoos theme and forget about the "hair and lobe" which distract from the overall message.

  3. Thanks, I value your opinion and I will re write it slightly. I like punk lyrics, these are often disjointed and jarring but clever and that's what I aspire to.
