the whole reason these specific versions of the songs are leaking is because they’re being pulled out of the archives at warner. there is quite literally no other way it would leak in this quality.
@@thisiskevin92795 Same, but it's unlikely because the only studio record of it is with Matt Pellisier - MCR's first drummer, and well- I don't think he'd leak nor sell it away for our pleasure
Why would they hold something so amazing like this as a secret for so long? This sounds incredible and I'd be willing to engage with whatever is created alongside this!
@@peony5120It wasn't specifically because of that. The idea for Paper Kingdom was spawned from some of the hate Danger Days was receiving early on and Gerard's poor mental health state late into the band's original stint. It was likely scrapped because MCR either thought it wasn't there best work, thought it was uninspired, or just thought that the album wasn't created in the right head space
@BLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEhonestly same. That was so outrageous. I knew as soon as they went on sale and I saw prices that it’d be impossible for me to go. Ticket reselling should be illegal.
my theory is that emily (the demo from living with ghosts) was also supposed to be on the paper kingdom / ties into the story because gerard has stated that the premise was of a support or therapy group for parents who have lost their children and are grieving. emily has lyrics such as “emily, you’re far from home” “emily come home” “it was the last time i saw her alive” “what you did to this little girl” “baby please don’t go away” so maybe it’s written from the perspective of the parents of a little girl named emily
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] A birthday wish for all my friends It's time to kiss, and to pretend Remember all the things she said Oh I picture you asleep, in bed [Pre-Chorus] And holding on to what we've had And I guess you know that I've been bad And then, she'd sate, the thirst you need Beyond the way you care to make You're holding on to what we made I guess you see that I've been bad I guess you say you were here too long Well I've left too much behind [Chorus] You'd try finding why we never took you You'd try and hold my hand, I'm with you You hold me down, dead little girl And it's more than you've got, well I've pictured wrong The summer's done I go home [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] And what you'd take from us, we'd take it back And what you'd take from us, we'd take it back And what you'd take from us, man we're taking it back And what you'd take from us Don't run, go high, and pick yourself up off the ground Just fly, just fly, your eyes, and look at the sun [Outro] La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la
This is actually a leaked track from MCR's canceled Album "Paper Kingdom" Which was supposed to be the next album after The Black Parade. The themes and emotions were too much for them. The dark themes really ate even more into their mental health and they set it aside.
@@noahbrie9785 hmm. I will admit my knowledge of this is from two huge fans I follow in TikTok and have no way to verify. They just seemed to know what they were talking about about but could definitely be wrong.
@@kidrobot. they didn't feel like releasing it back then, because they just didn't feel like it'd fit at that time. Then, basically immediately after that, they broke up.
Upside about the leak, while it does suck that it got leaked, MCR can now gauge audience reactions to this song and potentially tweak the rest of the album if need be
they're never releasing TPK, these leaks are all we've got and are probably going to get, unless the leaker decides to get ballsy and keep playing with fire.
Btw, I still can't get it into my head that TikToks can be longer than a minute now. Never used it, but when I heard about it the most (2020) it was just one minute long videos.
@@thisiskevin92795 it is real because it is copyrighted and many people who tried to upload couldn't. but somehow this dude uploaded without copyright. Also, Gerard's voice is way too raw to be ai. There are two mcr ai generated songs on youtube made by fans and i can tell the difference.
We sure this wasn't just Gerard leaking parts of that Matt Heafy project he worked on? Cause some of this sounds exactly like something you'd hear on that album.
Wow a paper kingdom song finally? Wouldve been such a great follow up to TBP. Imagine if they ended their career on something like this instead of danger days. You could say their career was flawless then. Like dude... two TBP in a row basically, if the rest of it sounded anything similar to this
Correct me if i'm wrong, but im fairly certain this is an AI recreation based off of snippets that have been leaked, you can kinda hear it in his voice at some points, still amazing though!
It's not. AI versions of his voice sound way worse and way less emotional and alive. Also, if it was AI, then they wouldn't be copyright striking every video (except for this one for some reason) that contains it. The reason his voice may sound less polished is because this is a demo.
@@Idkpleasejustletmechangeit Yeah I wasn't sure if it was or not just because the only really publicly available version is an AI recreation of the recording, so I was just curious
It's a valid concern to have, but I think it's real especially from this little voice crack 3:04 that's hard to do and AI users usually aren't that good at singing 😆the screaming is also very Gerard. It does sound like a demo though, there's no editing, mixing or mastering and the orchestra sounds like something you'd use as placeholder
Every day I hope MCR releases MCR5 this year....this song is beautiful and I bet the ones they release will be a piece of gold 🖤
Listening to this tonight after MCR's latest cryptic Instagram post.
Same lmao
FR GIVE ME TPK NOW
SAME
Same if it’s Just another makeup pallet I’m gonna crash out lmao
@ the amount of times I've said the very same thing since last night... 💀
Can’t believe this got past copyright. I hope MCR officially releases this song cuz it kicks ass.
the whole reason these specific versions of the songs are leaking is because they’re being pulled out of the archives at warner. there is quite literally no other way it would leak in this quality.
I want to see the finalized version of this song
Wish that the full version of Sister to Sleep will leak too .
@@thisiskevin92795 Okay

Got scrapped cuz they realize the album was way too dark and sad. Since it was on how parents lost their kids due to th3 war.
@@peony5120no. I *want* to cry myself to sleep >:(

alright, i didnt expect to find this rabbit hole tonight
Mr mcr would be so disappointed in us… but this shit slaps 😔🙏
I don't even feel bad after that Ticketmaster shit

Remind me every time you see this
I needs this album now 😭
I can't believe I missed this, after foundations of decay!!! Emo never dies!!!
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
A birthday wish for all my friends
It's time to kiss, and to pretend
Remember all the things she said
Oh I picture you asleep, in bed
[Pre-Chorus]
And holding on to what we've had
And I guess you know that I've been bad
And then, she'd sate, the thirst you need
Beyond the way you care to make
You're holding on to what we made
I guess you see that I've been bad
I guess you say you were here too long
Well I've left too much behind
[Chorus]
You'd try finding why we never took you
You'd try and hold my hand, I'm with you
You hold me down, dead little girl
And it's more than you've got, well
I've pictured wrong
The summer's done
I go home
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And what you'd take from us, we'd take it back
And what you'd take from us, we'd take it back
And what you'd take from us, man we're taking it back
And what you'd take from us
Don't run, go high, and pick yourself up off the ground
Just fly, just fly, your eyes, and look at the sun
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
The bridge kinda reminds me of Icarus, the guy from the greek myth that flew too close to the Sun
Anyway, thx for sharing the lyrics!!
Its like one of The Lighthouse's soundtracks and Desert Song in the beginning then Phantom of the Opera throughout the whole song.
I think it also has some The End vibes
not sure about the lighthouse soundtrack comparison ! but this does remind me a little of sleep
man this song is awesome, i hope they release an official version someday, and even better would of course be Paper Kingdom as a whole
This is pretty good. Wonder how close this was to finish cause the vocals sound like a demo
The strings in the beginning sound very artificial too
They completed a few songs including this one for The Paper Kingdom before it got scrapped
i'm obsessed with this melody 4:26
Anyone here after the cryptic post on insta? 11/11
Yep. Choosing to believe MCR 5 is about to be announced
I have some bad news… The Black Parade part 52
Maybe this'll be part of that cryptic announcement...
I LOVE HOW GRAND THIS SONG FEELS
I experienced the entire spectrum of girl hood listening to this
(I’m a man)
boy did I laugh at this comment
THE MCRMY NEVER DIES
Finally the full song on UA-cam😭😭
I will pay more if MCR will release The Paper Kingdom and Green Day will release Cigarettes and Valentines
i remember a part of this song got leaked many years ago by the name of "the paper kingdom leak"
EXCALIBUR
It sounds like if desert song was made for the black parade. Major something wicked this way comes vibes.
This is actually a leaked track from MCR's canceled Album "Paper Kingdom" Which was supposed to be the next album after The Black Parade. The themes and emotions were too much for them. The dark themes really ate even more into their mental health and they set it aside.
Unless I am mistaken, I am pretty sure this was written post danger days right before the break-up.
@@noahbrie9785 hmm. I will admit my knowledge of this is from two huge fans I follow in TikTok and have no way to verify. They just seemed to know what they were talking about about but could definitely be wrong.
why would they set it aside and not just trash it
It supposed to be after Danger Days
@@kidrobot. they didn't feel like releasing it back then, because they just didn't feel like it'd fit at that time. Then, basically immediately after that, they broke up.
i swear if they won't announce mc5 i will crash out
I hope they release this and the new album! It sounds like it would be a great album opener!
Omg this gives me bullets and TBP vibes 🥹😭
Upside about the leak, while it does suck that it got leaked, MCR can now gauge audience reactions to this song and potentially tweak the rest of the album if need be
they're never releasing TPK, these leaks are all we've got and are probably going to get, unless the leaker decides to get ballsy and keep playing with fire.
this demo is like 10 years old
I doubt this will ever be released, even if they return to TPK, it will be so vastly different as these songs were recorded more than 10 years ago
it sounds so cinematic
THANK YOUUUU. I NEEDED THIS ON MY YT MUSIC PLAYLIST
THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT this is sooo good I wish they’d release it officially
The end reminds me the theme song from The Phantom of the Opera.
MCR!!! DROP WITCH AND MY LIFE IS YOURS😭
Yall make sure to save this as an mp3 before it gets taken down
I hope they will release this
ART
It's been over 20 years...
*This band is **_still_** the love of my life.*
They will _always_ be home to me.
RIP Bob Bryar
:(
YESSS TY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR UA-cam TO NOT COPYRIGHT IT
The guitar sonically reminds me of something A7X would write
JESUS I HOPE THEY RELEASE THE PAPER KINGDOM SOMEDAY😭😭
It's taken me very long to actually listen to this but fuckin damn...this really slaps
This sounds like a song that'd be in Bullets.
Suena increíble
I flippin love mcr💪🏻
So real man I listened to them ever since I was 4(^·^)
E X C A L I B U R
NOOOOOOOOOOO WAY, what have I stumbled upon here? :O MCR content posted 8 days ago??? I must be dreaming
damn this is great
dear mother of god
i see in instagram post and going to here
listening in sadness after the announcement was just a USA tour
idk if this is gonna go REALLY over people's heads but this reminds me exactly of abyssopelagic i boundless vasts by the ocean
i love mcr
that horn sounds like a garageband plugin
Probably is. But this is just a demo, after all.
OMGGGGG ITS REALLL
This is my 2025 soundrack
PLEASE don't get copyrighted-
Holy shiiii
Why the begining sounds like verbo carne from gustavo cerati in bocanada from 1999
All rise
How did you get pass the copyright , that’s crazy
literally i’m so confused 😭
eita
Me mojé
This sounds awfully a lot like ghost
my eyes widen my pulse escalates i came..
Does anyone have the foundations of decay demo????
So we all here huh
Amazing ❤
HOW?! HOW DID YOU GET PAST THE WALL OF COPYRIGHT?!
Btw, I still can't get it into my head that TikToks can be longer than a minute now. Never used it, but when I heard about it the most (2020) it was just one minute long videos.
WOAH

When is someone making a lyrics video lmao
Yall think we getting another story album or smth else?
PRAYYINGGG for another story album
Praying for another ALBUM
@@machintosh3008 real
MCR5
Was this supposed to be the last track on the album?
Maybe the first one
how can you prove this isnt AI? the tiktok account you credit this with is private
it’s real, this is what witch sounds like
there’s another leak on soundcloud that i’m surprised hasn’t got taken down
:3
IS THIS REAL!?
Yea it’s a unreleased song is from 2013/12 that was on the paper kingdom album that never got released
It could be AI, but yeah, what jesusofsuburbia said :D

Is this real?
yes it was leaked about a week or two ago, its part of the scrapped album "the paper kingdom" which was supposed to be another rock opera
@CrongeComedyTV they never said it was supposed to be a rock opera album but a really concept dark theatrical one.
