Raphael
Early morning, sun's not risen
My room and bed feel like a prison
The lair is cold and moist and silent
Memories flood me 'til I get violent
Slam the door so hard it shatters
Hear Splinter call: "What is the matter?"
I cannot dare to look at him
Emotions make my eyes swim
Will every day from now and on
Be torment and anger that'll never be gone?
The question's too hard to figure out
The answer too hard to live without
I feel my master's sorrow
He struggles for tomorrow
Every day from dawn to sundown
In work and teaching his pains he drown
I'm unable to forget
My one greatest regret
The day that plagues us all
That I could not forestall
When in blood and pain and tears and hurt
Our brother was lost in an attempt to divert
An evil that hoped to bring us our death
Instead brought us our brother's last breath
I never got to see him
No embrace as he went limp
Now back in the lair I crumble
No one to hear the words I mumble
"I failed you and I am so sorry…"
I need not the others to worry
But what nobody will see
Though true is still may be
The blame all fall on me
I know he'd disagree
He'd want me to be free
But blame still fall on me
I killed you, Mikey
