Everybody's Fool
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO or Evanescence. The song is "Everybody's Fool" and I don't own that, either.
NOTE: Song Lyrics (some of which I've changed slightly (e.g.: "she" to "he") but I still don't own the overall song)
Yugi's thoughts (and actions in his POV)
Chapter 1 – Puzzle
Perfect by nature
He was always better than me.
Icons of self indulgence
Everybody wanted to be me – but only after he came along.
Just what we all need -
- A place where he can't put people in comas and other things? Where he can't send a simple bully insane?
- More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
He never was me, I never will be me again.
Have you no shame don't you see me?
Can't you see you're blocking me out? Taking me over?
You know you've got everybody fooled
How can you not see it?
Look here he comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
They all wonder how I beat Kaiba, and Pegasus, and the others…I pretend to love you like the others…but really…I'm screaming at you to get out of my mind.
Oh how we love you
Tea, my childhood friend and, okay I'll admit it, crush, is in love with you! How can I forgive you for that?
No flaws when you're pretending
You're a good actor…a good pretender…a good liar, I'll give you that.
But now I know he
All I can say is "I hate you", and even that won't do.
Never was and never will be
It has to be impossible to be that "brilliant" – right?
You don't know how you betrayed me
I felt like you knew me, but now you've redefined me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
And they all believe I'm okay…that I love you as well…that I don't want to die.
Maybe we're alike after all…we can both fool the crowds.
Too bad you're the only one that pleases them!
Without the mask where will you hide?
What if I threw the puzzle away? Sold it? Broke it? Would that make you leave?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
But I can't do those things…I'm too used to letting you pretend, letting you take over me, letting you reopen my wounds, digging them deeper and deeper.
I know the truth now
You're my demon, my dark, my other.
I know who you are
You're the one society loves, that Kaiba hates, that Tea loves…
And I don't love you anymore
But I don't love you…oh, no.
It never was and never will be
Am I insane? To think you'd even try to hear my side? To think you'd even want to? Even care?
You're not real and you can't save me
You're not real to me anymore.
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
It's easier if you just take over completely…so I'll let you…and I'll just waste away in the back of my own mind…watching my friends being happy without me…and with you…
…Why did I have to finish that puzzle?
I'm so evil to Yugi. Anyway! Please review, thanks for reading, naioka1992 - xoxo
