Morro's PoV
Staring eyes wide open
I opend my eyes only to see a bright light nearly blinding me.
Gazing into nothing
There was nothing around me, just light which soon came to an end.
Running in place again
Did I die? No, I think I feel my body. I tried to feel my arm, with no result. I didn't feel
anything.
Going through the motions
I did it again once or twice, trying to convince myself that I wasn't crazy. But it stayed the same, I had no body. I died. I looked around me, and saw a dark green figure standing around 7 feet away from me.
In and out as the oceans
Maybe it was the lighting, but I couldn't see it's face. It stepped closer. I knew I should've been afraid, but I wasn't. And that's what scared me. When it was something like 2 feet away, everything went black. And as soon as the dark came, so was light.
Repeating
I was back were I started. Jet, the figure wasn't there. When my thoughts reached that point the light was replaced by a dark, ocean-like atmosphere. Numb to the silence, to the absence of emotion.
The first thing I heard when the light disappeared, were screams.
The sum of the script, nothing but a click in the rotation, yeah
They weren't screams of fear, I'll tell you that. They were more like screams of pain, anger, trauma and overwhelming sadness.
Sick of the peace of mind that goes along with keeping on.
Right then and there, my gut told me something I didn't want to believe…
And I can't keep on keeping on inside
This was the cursed realm. Feels like I'm stuck here suspended at best underwhelming. What's wrong with me?
But why? How did I deserve this? I wasn't even supposed to be dead!
My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
For the first time in years, I shed a tear. Before I realized this, I felt this stabbing pain on my cheek, exactly where the tear was. So I really was a ghost.
I'm hopelessly hopeful
Why did I expect anything else? Even Sensei Wu didn't think I was good enough. Naturally I'm not good enough for the departed realm.
That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me
But I can't fix that now, can I? (What's wrong with me?) Strung out on the same old
It's been around 40 years I came to this pit of hell. And I wonder, what does Wu look like now. It's on these moments that I realize how long I've been here.
Got an itch for something painful
But my thoughts and consciousness soon become numb. 40 years of torture does something with you, y'know?
To feel something real once
Then something happened what woke the entire realm up. The gateway had been opened.
To remind myself it's not in my head
A spark of hope lit up in me, I could finally escape.
Sick of the calm coinciding with sticking in and with the line
Can't keep on keeping on and it all just
I did everything in my power to get where I wanted to be, and to my surprise it worked. Morro was back in Ninjago. I told myself to get a hideout, I was going to do what I planned until… I saw a group of teenagers wearing bright coloured ninja suits, one of them being green. The ninja suit that was supposed to be mine, was being worn by another. Feels like I'm stuck here suspended at best underwhelming. What's wrong with me?
I felt this weird feeling in my very soul when I admitted in my envy, something evil. Whatever it was, it wasn't like me.
My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
The rest of my actions became a blur. All I truly remember, was taking over a body, freeing my master and screaming.
I'm hopelessly hopeful
During that time, I wished for somebody to see my conflict and reach out to me. That's when I realized just how useless hope is.
That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me
My true death didn't make me feel any better though. I thought I could easily escape that time, but I was wrong, that was just arrogance. (What's wrong with me?) When I close my eyes
I remember Sensei Wu's voice yelling my name, when everything went black.
When I leave the light
That's when I realized, that people like me don't deserve happiness Inside it feels like I'm stuck here suspended at best underwhelming. What's wrong with me?
That's when I realized, just how vulnerable I am.
My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
That's when I realized, that in the end, no one will be there for you.
I'm hopelessly hopeful
That's when I realized….
That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me
That I've always been, Hopelessly Hopeful
