Can anybody hear me
Or am I talking to myself
That's exactly what he's doing, no one listens, despite his being the leader of the team. Leo swung his katanas again, slashing through the practice dummy as he let out his frustration.
My mind is running empty
In the search for someone else
Who doesn't look right through me
Lame-o-nardo, huh they just didn't get it. However much he tried to help them, and keep them safe, they ignored it.
It's all just static in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
Because he's the oldest, the leader, and the least liked, of course. Those three things seemed to go together every day of his life, when he wasn't being the leader, he was being a mother-hen. When he was being the leader, he was an awful brother, he could never seem to break from the cage they'd put him in.
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Why did he even ask to be leader in the first place? Leo paused, panting, as he regained his stance.
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
No, he couldn't. According to splinter, the man *or rat* leo had looked up to and tried to impress, he couldn't come down. He had too much responsibility. He slashed again, severing the chain that held up the punching bag.
I'm deafened by the silence
Is it something that I've done
I know that there are millions
I can't be the only one who's so disconnected
No one ever listens, why can't they just accept that he's doing the best he can? Leo swung around and slashed at another practice dummy, ignoring the sand that spilled onto the floor.
It's so different in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
What if he died? What would they do then? Even raph, who says he doesn't want to lead anymore, never listens.
Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity
And it's starting to weigh down on me, whoa
Let's abort this mission now
Can't they just take a break? No, shredder and the kraang would never stop, he had to keep going, but how could he control a team that didn't listen?
Can I please come down?
So tonight I'm calling all astronauts
All the lonely people that the world forgot
If you hear my voice, come pick me up
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
Apparently he didn't have much then, because no one was out there. Not even splinter gave him any leeway, the only person he could relax with was Karai, and look where that had gotten him.
And tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Forgotten, that might be a good word to describe leo. How had his brothers forgotten how much fun they'd had before they went to the surface? And then the one time before he was leader.
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
To the lonely people that the world forgot
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
Can I please come down?
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
(Can I please come down?)
"Leo, are you ok?" leo turned, Mikey was staring at the decimated practice dummies in awe, leo let his katana blade droop.
"I'm fine Mikey." just fine.
