​LEATHER JACKET

He Showed Me A Leather Jacket
Black As Night, It Became A Habit

Riding Bikes, And Chasing Women
Merely The Beginning Of A Villain

A Knight In Armor, Someone To Look Up To
Hoping To Match Him, But No One Could Outdo

A Strong Parental Figure
And Yet So Unfamiliar

His Jacket Never Left His Side
Where He Went At Night, Classified

Each Zipper Like A Scar
Got Rid Of The Bike, Looked Forward For His Car

"It Will Be Yours One Day"
Quite A Memory To Replay

But Fate Changed His Plans For His Firstborn
The Jacket? Outgrown.
The Car? Worn.
His Father, Scorned.
And I Was Born.

But The Idea Remained
Leather Jacket Maintained
The Memory Forever Ingrained

A Collection Of Coats Re-imagined
A Time Less Tragic, Creating A Legend

He Wore Them Like I Wore His Face
A Father He Could Not Replace
I Walk Among The Human Race

But To Me He Is My Brother
And Together We Will Uncover

One Day The World Will See Us
Without Making Such A Fuss

But Until Then, I Will Maintain
Wear Me Like The Mark Of Cain
Much Stronger Than Cocaine

Embrace The Pain, And Inhale The Rage
This Is Merely The Developmental Stage

​
​"Wear Your Tragedies As Armor, Not Shackles."
