did i fool myself again

[koncupiscence]

hrmm... this is from mtv's recent leathermouth article, emphasis mine:

Iero, who has been involved with many bands (Pencey Prep, Hybrid, Sector 12, I Am a Graveyard, the Pole Smokin' Five, Give Up the Ghost, Reggie and the Full Effect and a Cure tribute band called Love Cats) but never as a lyricist...

...

Iero had never felt the urge to pen prose for any of his bands' songs before, because he said he was "always very fortunate to be in bands with people that I felt were very poetic. I always felt like the voice that I would put across would be through the music end of it. The music end was kind of taken care of [with Leathermouth], so I did the lyrics."

now, is mtv just mucking up the facts here, or did frank seriously not write the lyrics for pencey? i feel like my whole world has been thrown topsy-turvy. i mean... 8th grade? lloyd dobler? ps don't write? these aren't frank's words??? DDD:

admittedly, i may be a little over-invested in baby!frank, but but... say it ain't soooooo. :( half the joy of listening to pencey prep is thinking of a young, pissed-off frank, bitter and heartbroken, but filled with hope. fraaaaaaank. ♥
