APPENDAGE #6: My Secret Public Journal, Entry #037: Dear Mama


"Mama" by My Chemical Romance

"All good qualities in a child are the result of environment, while all the bad ones are the result of poor heredity on the side of the other parent." -Elinor Smith

Mama we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama we all go to hell.

Oh well now,
Mama we're all gonna die,
Mama we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions,
I'd hate to see you cry
Mama we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh so famous,
We'll never let you go,
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama we're all full of lies,

And right now they're building a coffin your size,
Mama we're all full of lies.



Well mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should have raised a baby girl,
I should have been a better son.
If you could
Coddle the infection
They can amputate at once.
You should have been,
I could have been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh so famous,
We'll never let you go.
She said 'You ain't no son of mine',
For what you done they're gonna find, yeah,
A place for you and just you mind,
Your manners when you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

That's right.

Mama we all go to hell.
It's really quite pleasant,
Except for the smell.

Two, three, four!

















Mama!
Mama!
Mama!
Ohhhhhh!
Mama!
Mama!
Mama!
Ma...

And if you would call me your sweetheart,
I'd maybe then sing you a song.

But the shit that I've done,
With this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.

We're damned after all,
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you can say then
I'll show you the way
to return from the ashes you call...


We all carry on,
When our brothers in arms are gone.
So raise your glass high,
For tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you call...


"Don't worry that children never listen to you;
worry that they are always watching you."
~Robert Fulghum

...and we are mother; we're always watching.

  1. If I didn't know that this is "artistic expression" I'd be freaking the fuck out right now. I am a little still. People are gonna freak out from this, I hope you realize that.

    Now for my response, HOLY FUCKING INTENSE. I really don't have words for this. Other than that, it's intense and makes me worry the way you did this.

  2. First off...what the hell was that?!

    Second, that was SUPER intense. Especially with the song in the back round. This is a post that speaks loudly and you're really NOT afraid to hold back on anything. And like Laurie said, people are gonna freak out from this.

    And I think that's exactly what you were going for =P Hope you know what you're doing. Good luck big bro.

    P.S. I like the graphic pictures just cause it adds to the whole intensity of this post lol =)

  3. HOLY FUCK! How did I miss this? I knew I had missed something in this series. This is intense. The word intense doesn't even do this justice. This was such a whirlwind of a post. I asked you about this song and you said it wouldn't be part of the series. This was such a huge unexpected addition to the story. I understand why this isn't a chapter, but holy fuck this is more powerful than some of the actual chapters.

    The imagery is intense, the hidden meaning behind everything is so real. This may be the most personal you've ever been while being super ambiguous. It gave me chills.
