Disclaimer: sigh I really run out of things to say here...I always feel very monotonous when writing these damn things... I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, otherwise I'd probably be MUCH more talented and would have A LOT more cash to spend on manga, anime, and POCKY! Lucky Takahashi-san. Also, I don't own 'Papercut,' or the same would probably be true of my talents and income if I were to own YGO. Lucky Linkin Park.
Summary: This songfic kinda shows Ryou's feelings throughout his Life with Bakura. Starts with him getting the Sennen Ring, and continues from there. Angsty... RyouxBakura
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left.
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed,
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head.
Ever since I got this ring from my father, I've been feeling so strange... I hear a voice. It tells me to wear the Sennen Ring. It says it needs me. I'm afraid. But, I'll put it on. I'm just too curious....
It's like a face that I hold inside-
A face that awakes when I close my eyes,
A face that watches every time I lie,
A face that laughs every time I fall...
And watches everything.
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim,
That the face inside is hearing me, right underneath my skin.
It's been a while since I first put on my Sennen Ring... I'm hardly ever in control of my own body anymore. My Yami knows everything I do, yet I hardly understand what he does. He's taking advantage of me...I'm frightened...
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back,
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head,
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin.
He never goes away. He dominates my mind all the time. I have no freedom - I am his prisoner. I just wish he'd be nicer to me... I want a friend. I don't want to be alone anymore...
I know I've gota a face in me,
Points out all the mistakes to me.
You've got a face on the inside, too, and
Your paranoia's probably worse.
I don't know what set me off first,
But I know what I can't stand-
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can.
My Yami always tells me when I'm wrong. He tells me things that hurt. But at least I'm not alone. I don't ever regret putting on the Sennen Ring because I have someone with me. You are the perfect one, with the perfect Yami. You get to save the World. I don't care. I'm the bad guy, now, because of him.
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes,
A face that watches every time they lie,
A face that laughs every time they fall...
And watches everything.
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you, right inside your skin.
I'm used to him by now. In many ways, he's they one who's right. He's in it for himself, not weighed down by anyone else...except me. But he just pushes me aside, ignores me. He doesn't know how much I admire him. It's okay. I can admire from a distance. It's better than getting my feelings hurt.
The sun goes down
I fell the light betray me.
He doesn't scare me anymore. The only thing that scares me is the thought of him leaving. Your Yami won't leave, but my Yami moves where it's most convenient for him. I told him not to leave. He told me I'm just a vessel for him. But I sensed something in his voice. He seemed glad that I was worried about him leaving. I think he'll stay with me. After all, I need someone to be the face on the inside.
