TELL ME I’M A BAD MAN

the ReasonableRadish5791 account has existed for 3 days and only has 3 posts, 2 with never before seen hesitant alien official promotional and aesthetic outlines, and just a few hours ago leaked the first full song leak from The Paper Kingdoms recording sessions. According to the copyright strike I got on youtube, as well as ReasonableRadishes post, the song is named Witch.

these are the lyrics as ReasonableRadish posted them, though they are of course not confirmed.

This could be a data leak, though I doubt it. The hesitant alien behind the scenes implies someone who cares enough about gerard way to know what hesitant alien is, but the full demo leak implies someone specifically on/close to the MCR team considering its a cleaely unfinished song so its not a leak from a radio station online shop or music store. My personal theory is that its geradd posting because thats the funniest possible conclusion and one of the more realistic ones. The leaks were on the market a year or two ago, so its possible they were bought, but that doesnt explain why the buyer would have access to gerards/gerards teams private promotional files for a (relative to mcr) smaller album release from over 10 years ago mostly enjoyed by hardcore fans. We still have little to no infortmation outside of these posts, and who knows how long the leak will stay up.

@luxxlillian also found an old promotion of the pre-covid planned MCR return tour that may have involved music directly from this leak, which is terrifying for several reasons.
