Eyes stitched shut for years without warning.

A faucet of truth springs forth where you least expect it. I have found the necessary tools to cease the flow…or perhaps, encourage the release. An abstract combination of malevolence and transgression has enabled the hand forward, the torque profitable. The leak expired. Please, allow my waves the privilege to crash upon your waders. I have dug in, rooted in the perversity, entrenched in the limitations, and bruised by the morality.

Truth be told, and if it were, doubt would still slither its' way into your supposition. Torch carrying is a responsibility undertaken with determination. The challenge is to remain steadfast and true. This is not always an achievable task. Perceptions often refute validation, but a ripened integrity allows balance. Disclosure is promising, beautiful; I will not take it back, and neither will you.

Allies and underlings, consider both hostages to mutual enforcement. The brigade advanced, and all fell in as agreed. Should I follow...or jump ship and purchase my validity with wadded up paper airplanes?

p.s. the ghost that floats by here now again find a way.

Tch! Okay, you obviously thought this out, I shouldn't tease. I'll go along with you pretnding to be Gerard Way because I'm feeling feisty, If you've found this "faucet of truth", O Enlightened One, you might want to share, yanno? Why would you want to stop it? That would kind of suck, don't you think?

I have dug in, rooted in the perversity, entrenched in the limitations, and bruised by the morality.

Your own morality. Your own. Not ours.

Truth be told, and if it were, doubt would still slither its' way into your supposition.

Why shouldn't doubt slither in? Everyone lies. If you want the truth to be told, tell it. Actions speak louder than words and all that.

The challenge is to remain steadfast and true. This is not always an achievable task.

Bollocks, yes it is. ANd if it isn't, then don't bother carrying the torch in the first place. No one shoved it into your hands. If you're gonna talk the talk, then walk the walk of STFU and GTFO.

Disclosure is promising, beautiful; I will not take it back, and neither will you.

So we're all buggered then. No surprise there.

Well look who decided to pay another visit. It's really nice to know you're still around good Mayo. Doubt lives in me, just so you know. But I've risen to the challenge you've set out before the "troops" and I will remain steadfast in my endeavors...in my own personal life and for this band.

He did. And Mayo doesn't use big words, s/he just writes effusively, overdramatizes, and tips from purple prose, hell, right on over into urple. Verdant greenery much? It's easy to understand if you spent four years around any kind of liberal arts majors.*

Anonymous said...

I don't even know what purple prose is. Using some knowledge that I have, I would venture to guess that it is poetry recited or learned by those with blue blood, by royalty [purple=color of royalty, but you probably already knew that;)]. But that's just a guess.

I'm all for people writing eloquently and using flowery language. I can handle it at times. But cut through the bullshit and just tell me what you want me to know. And the times we are facing now, that's what I want.
But beggars can't be choosers.

"Purple prose" is just a writer's or critic's term for overly florid writing. Redundant use of adjectives or dramatic phrases. "Verdant greenery." I'm all for eloquence, but a lot of amateurs mistake florid writing for "eloquence" when in fact they are opposites. Those people are usually Anne Rice fans.

Anyway, but I do sort of understand the need for the oh-so-mysterious use of language in this context. Either it is Gerard Way trying to pretend that he's not (doubtful,) or someone else trying to pretend that he is Gerard Way* (more likely.) Either way s/he's got to hide behind the language, so I guess I can let it slide. ^_~

















*Which, it really blows if you're someone else letting people think you're someone they care about, because you obviously know that's what people think. If that's the case, I disapprove, and you can suck my wang that I don't even have.

As for your big forthfuckingcoming disclosure - what the hell... what is it? you're gay? the band is breaking up? you gonna go solo? you were sexually abused as a child by a family member or someone in the clergy? or perhaps you sexually abused someone? Or that Lyn-Z is pregnant or had a miscarriage? Or Lyn-Z is really Lynard? Or you're adopted? Mikey's adopted? Or the shoe fits? Or you're your own mother?
I don't give a shit anymore, OK?

If it weren't for your contacts and your pretty David fucking Cassidy face, you wouldn't be sitting where you are now, dude! Don't you realize how you're winning all these awards? They are voted on by pre-pubescent starry-eyed, pimply-faced CHILDREN who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Don't believe me?

Well now, the latest teen heart throb he may be, and it's true that the musicians involved are brill (OH HAI DID SUM1 SAY RAY TORO?!!) and even though I fully own that G-Way is cracking up bad and is totally selling out, you'll never hear me say that the dude couldn't sing. Bullets was fabulous and I loved his voice on that. It was powerful and unique and fun and interesting.

I also pretty much adored Revenge and TBP, and although I could tell definitely in those albums that Gerard's voice was layered and that the production was really smooth and kind of ingenious, it still wouldn't have happened if he couldn't actually sing the parts. His voice has character, and what he does with it in Revenge, in some parts it's a downright beautiful voice. I don't deny.

I will never deny the fact that Gerard Way can sing. I still replay over and over again the taped television episode of them warming the fans up to TBP. It was awesome. His vocals were awesome. Gerard Way can sing, and I'd be willing to bet they don't use autotune. It's just a hunch. The vocals on Bullets and Three Cheers aren't perfectly spot-on, but they are still so good. TBP may have had a little more fixing done to it, but he can still carry it off live (sometimes). For that, I have total respect.

I didn't mind Tom Cruise in the role, though he wasn't a quintessential Lestat to me. Brad Pitt, however, was spot on as Louis. I'm not a Brad Pitt fan, actually. Though I admit he's a talented actor, Interview with the Vampire was the only movie I saw him in that made me gasp at his performance.

I could not agree with you more. Last year when I saw MCR for the first time, I managed to walk through the side of the House of Blues and snuck inside the gift shop where it was close to the stage and concert area. I was looking around at the shirts and cups and such, and I could clearly hear Gerard's voice practicing. His voice was booming all over the place, and many of the fans, including myself overheard it. A couple of times I couldn't help but laugh.

Anon, there would be some similarities I guess. But the way I write songs (even though they are all lame) and the way that I write naturally, in stories & blogs and such, don't really have any similarities. It could just be me though.

Paperheart:
If we're talking about favorites, it's so hard for me to decide. Depending on the mood I'm in depends on what I listen to. If I want to disect a song, literally note for note, I listen to TBP. I usually do this while sitting in the middle of my floor in a dark room. Much better that way. They have so much stuff layered on top of other stuff, it's like finding treasure when you finally hear that bass part or guitar part you've been listening for. But if I'm in a downer mood and a hating mood, Bullets it is. I love that album. The angst. The agression. It's all there. And Three Cheers comes in when I'm in a downer mood. It just has that certain charming quality to it that kind of picks me up, then gently sets me back down again and again. It's too hard to decide. Let's say I love them as equals.





But Ray Toro shreds like no other mother does (on all of them.)

I think he thought of that, and hides behind an over the top literary style.

Anon2007,
Whenever I listen to TBP it puts me in a happier mood. Bullets also helps pick me up when I am down. I love the lyrics on that album; I personally think that Bullets was lyrically the best. Three Cheers though, there is just something about the songs that catches my eye. I can't explain the way I feel when I listen to Three Cheers! Definitely all three albums are different, and they all have really amazing aspects to them=]

&&I'm glad that made sense to you RW, because it sure didn't to me after I read it!

anon@9:58 --
writing lyrics and writing prose can be very different things, but even so, there's a certain rhythm here that reminds me of the mcr style.
tbh, though? i think alot of those lyrics are pretty cryptic, too! it's part of the fun of listening to them --
trying to figure out just what the heck is being said!

I'm not the only one who finds the songs cryptic! I can sit there for hours trying to figure some of the songs out, and never be able to!

Don't feel bad. You guys aren't the only ones that spends hours trying to figure them out. Smart cookie that Gerard Way. Using metaphors to describe the simplest things. That's why we've never figure him out for sure. He's always talking metaphors.

i read that when we hear metaphors and poetry, it bypasses the critical part of our brain and goes straight to the emotional, creative part.
so we understand that stuff on a visceral level, which is why it's always more potent.
so smart cookie, indeed!

this blog mentioned the faucet of truth, did it not? And the part about not deleting.. one of the first comments accused Mayo of deleting some comments...

Anonymous said...

the excitement of discovery got to me there, but i wanted to let you know that i'm sorry to read that you lost someone.

you have my condolences. xoxo

Anonymous said...

Just did one more quick read-through.

Mayo's location is 8:05 probably just means that he was the anon at 8:05. Mayo, some dark secrets really aren't that cool or beautiful; I understand you not deleting, because it's your blog, but still. Not beautiful. The direct opposite, some of those secrets.

Re: Ray Toro and his shredding fingers, well, I'd love to think of something saucy to say, but whatwith Halloween just around the corner and this talk of horror films and such, the only things I'm putting together in my head when it comes to "fingers" and "shredding" is like, Night Of The Living Dead kind of thing. O_O Umm, eww? I mean zombies FTW and all but still. They're coming to get you, Barbara.

Let's all dream good things tonight, yeah?

ILUguys. Don't post any, like, stick figure tentacle porn while I'm at work or anything.

I thought this "Anon" was somehow referring to the post Kapunua had last night that she asked Mayo to delete a couple of times. That's why I thought the Anon @ 8:05 was Mayo saying he wouldn't delete them because it's okay to share dark secrets. I'm really confused right now.

^Crap Kapunua. When I asked the first time, you made it seem like this Anon was just that, that Mayo would have had enough "cojones" to post logged in. I should have re-read it.


Mayo!!! Stop toying with us you effin' puppetmaster. You seriously get a kick out of this don't you?

Anonymous said...

here is where I don't believe that is Gerard Way, because if kapunau is right by saying that 8:05 means that anon was Gerard translating this and then someone said the PS was about Bert, then why would Gerard tell him to come back. He woudln't. At least I don't think so.

Also why would Gerard single out Kapunua i mean, that's not to say your not really nice!! But why you. ANd not anyone else? We have all had things to say to him.

Anonymous said...

Mayo,
Glad to see you getting into this a little more. ;)

JocelynHolly said...

I'm beginning to convince myself that Mayonaise isn't truly who I always thought he was; obviously Gerard Way. Sorry Mayo, this game has gone on for far too long and it's beginning to bore me=]
That doesn't mean that I won't comment or read your blogs, I still will. I'm trying to figure this out, and my brain hurts from thinking too much.
ONE LAST TIME
GOODNIGHT EVERYONE=]

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Kapunua asked him to delete a post she made.

JocelynHolly said...

Mayo,
Glad to see you getting into this a little more. ;)


I am too, but that just makes me think that this is just some crazy fan trying to convince us that this is Gerard. You'd think that Mr. Way would be too busy getting ready for shows and thinking about the new video to comment and blog.

Anonymous said...

I don't think its him either. Except for that time thing with Mexico the other night and the "last time" Black Parade thing. That made me think so for a while.

Anonymous said...

He would single her out because she told something big and asked him to delete it. Whether it is Gerard or not, she's a smart cookie and Mayo seems to like when people are smart.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, you guys did want Mayo to make an appearance. Seems like Mayo gave you what you wanted. Seem rather odd? And I was under the assumption that Mayo isn't allowed to play kickball with the rest of the players. Something to do with a mirror, possibly a tiara (Again, Happy Birthday Sdock!!!), and Mayo refusing to play nice.

But, go ask the girls who made up that team. They have the say-so Mayo, not anyone else. You'll probably have to bring goodies. You can bake right?

If he likes smart cookies then it's not Gerard. He was engaged to Eliza Cuts and married Lyn Z, uhmmm you do the math.

Wait. So if anon at 8:05 was Mayo and Mayo is Gerard and he's saying "everyone willingly agrees" does that mean he's saying that the rest of the band agrees to take MSI on the road with them? Cause then you're right, I DON"T believe that.

That's right! Mayo is the cheerleader. He wasn't good enough to play kickball, am I right? And he always wanted to look into S&V20's mirror correct? I knew he was cut out for cheerleading.

Could be. Maybe that's the reason SS deleted his title. PPU could have been Mayo. I doubt this is the first time s/he has posted. Just a little more obvious this time.
