EDIT 12/22/14: Added line breaks.
This is a songfic about Zane's struggles about being a Nindroid. The end will hopefully surprise you! Tell me who/what you thought it was about in the beginning in reviews! I wrote this late at night, so don't judge. Just enjoy!
I gaze into the bathroom mirror
Trying to see my soul
I know the emotions in my ice-blue eyes
Aren't real anymore
Sometimes I regret ever being made
I'm cheated cause I can't have a normal life
A life where living comes naturally
Where you can live and love and be someone
A life where you can breathe without feeling broken down
Broken down
A tear slides down Zane's cheek as he gazes into the mirror at his glowing eyes. No emotion even seems to be in them, just like he has no heart. For he's fake: he's mechanical. And that fact won't leave him alone.
Oh cause I'm not like you
I don't belong
I know inside you hate me
And my Heart of Metal
You'll beat me down
And tear me to pieces
You'll ruin my soul
Cause my emotions aren't real
No they can't be cause they come from
My broken Heart of Metal
The White Ninja of Ice feels shattered into a million pieces, like someone pulled out his heart and threw it onto the ground. He leaves the bathroom, his eyes looking at his feet as they shuffle across the wood floor.
You believe that I can just keep on living
No matter what gets in my way
You seem to think
Just because my emotions
Are operated by a switch
I can be calm during a storm
That I can climb the tallest mountain
And then beg for more
None of it's true
I can't breathe anymore
My false emotions have created a cage
I can't break free of
Thanks to you
To you
Zane clenches his hands into fists. He doesn't want anymore of this pain. He picks up a photograph and smashes to the floor, the glass shattering all over the ground. A piece embeds in his hand, but it doesn't hurt. Seeing the smashed photo remains him of his own demolished heart.
Oh cause I'm not like you
I don't belong
I know inside you hate me
And my Heart of Metal
You'll beat me down
And tear me to pieces
You'll ruin my soul
Cause my emotions aren't real
No they can't be cause they come from
My broken Heart of Metal
Zane sinks to his knees and cries. Burying his face in his hands, he feels the fake tears slide down his ice-cold cheeks. He feels he should've never been made.
Now I understand
I was never meant to live
I was simply an experiment
Now that I've lived through the hell
Known as life
And it's destroyed me slowly
You don't even seem to care
And that's why it's gonna end now
Now
Now
After several long minutes of indecisiveness, Zane stands up and grabs a pre-packed suitcase. He knows it's time to leave. To pack up his pain and start a new life- a third life.
Oh cause I'm not like you
I don't belong
I know inside you hate me
And my Heart of Metal
You'll beat me down
And tear me to pieces
You'll ruin my soul
Cause my emotions aren't real
No they can't be cause they come from
My broken Heart of Metal
The Nindroid leaves the old workshop, stepping out into the cold of Birchwood Forest. Zane is about to leave the man who started this all behind. The White Ninja walks out deep into the forest. He doesn't look back.
Heart of Metal...
Metal...
Metal...
Metal...
Thanks a lot, Father.
