Forfeit the game

Before somebody else takes you out of the frame, 

Puts your name to shame

Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

Seto heard the whispers. Oh yes, he heard them. How could he not?

"That's Seto Kaiba. He's the one that lost to Yugi Mouto before Duelist Kingdom."

"He can't even keep his titles."

"He's such a bastard."

What did they know, he asked himself bitterly. These people with their perfect lives, their perfect little homes, their good meals three times a day and their eight hours of sleep at night. What did they know of him?

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

What did they know of Gozaburo Kaiba? That sadistic bastard with his whips, his chains, his "lessons". Seto clenched his fists so hard his nails bit through the palms, drawing the red, red blood. He had submitted to Gozaburo for one reason, the reason whose picture was currently hanging at his throat. But once Seto had submitted, had become the cruel and ruthless CEO, his reason had disappeared.

You like to think you're never wrong

"Why are you whimpering, boy? I'm doing this for your own damn good. Worthless dog."

You live what you learn
You want to act like you're someone

"YOU WILL OBEY ME! I OWN YOU, YOU PATHETIC SNIVELLING WRETCH!"

You live what you learn
You want someone to hurt like you

You live what you learn
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you learn

You love the things I say I'll do

"I'll report you to the police!"

"Try it, boy. I know people. High up people. They'll put you in a hole, little Seto. A deep, dark hole so the bugs and the snakes can eat you alive."

The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in

My life
My pride is broken

Seto ran the knife down his arm. He knew from experience Gozaburo liked seeing the blood run down unmarked skin, so he wouldn't cut where another blade had been. Gozaburo would have to go somewhere else for his kicks that night.

You like to think you're never wrong

"You think you can hurt me, make inu? I made you."

"That's why I can. Sayanora, oniisama.

You want to act like you're someone

"There is one thing both of you shall learn. In this house, in your life, I am God."

You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you learn

Seto woke, breathing hard. Flashbacks of the Game King's ruby eyes, with that smug little sneer flashing inside them. The Mind Crush ripping through his brain; ripping through his heart, his soul, judging everything he was and everything he could ever be. Despite his title, his skill, his intelligence, this upstart duelist, this dark version of the innocent Yugi Mouto, judged him, Kaiba Seto, judged him worthless.

Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
