Ryou's thoughts

Chapter 1 –

It's true, we're all a little insane.

But you're completely insane. Why are you like that? Why do you take it out on me?
But it's so clear,

That you hate me
Now that I'm unchained.
You've let me free, but you're coming back.

I'll show you, Bakura.
Fear is only in our minds,

You are my fear, my dark.
Taking over all the time.

Take my body, soul, spirit…innocence.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.
Except now you're not just in my mind…you're in my life, my apartment.
You poor sweet innocent thing.

You call me all these names, say I'm sweet and pure and innocent
Dry your eyes and testify.

How could you do that? Do that to me? Your Hikari? And then laugh…
You know you live to break me. Don't deny.

You've broken me, Bakura.
Sweet sacrifice.
I'm yours.
One day I'm gonna forget your name,

But I'll forget mine first
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain.
Lost inside me, from when you cut me for your own pains. You'll drown in my pains, in your cuts from my pain.

In your blood.
Fear is only in our minds,

But now you're here, and I can't stop you.
Taking over all the time.

I was just a vessel, but now I'm just a toy thing, a maid, a vessel – but now I'm empty
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.
Always there, always, always
You poor sweet innocent thing.

You call me all those things…why do you torment me so?
Dry your eyes and testify.

Can't dry my eyes, the tears don't stop.
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?

I'm your sacrifice
I'm your sacrifice.
I'm your sacrifice.
(I dream in darkness

Because you're there…
I sleep to die,

Because you came…
Raise the silence,

Because you break it…
Erase my life,

Because you broke it…
Our burning ashes

Because you burned me…
Blacken the day,

Because you shadow me…
A world of nothingness,

Because you rule me…
Blow me away.)
Because you're cruel to me…
So you wonder why you hate?

It's all you know, all you know...why me? Why? WHY?!
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
You can't survive, can't regain the ground you've lost…
You poor sweet innocent thing.

You stole that innocence…how dare you…how could you…how dare you
Dry your eyes and testify.

I'll make you pay, some how, some day
You know you live to break me.

You came back for that
Don't deny.

Don't deny – I'm…
Sweet sacrifice.

Drowned.
