1. There are no promises, no rules
    No anything
    Just the two of us and my cloud of confusion
    Don’t worry about it
      it obviously bothers me more than it does you
    You wouldn’t even see it, can hardly even sense it
    Even though it wraps around my head like a dome
      harmless to all except the possessor
      no ill effects found for the cause, the creator
    Except maybe eventual detachment
    That wouldn’t bother you much, would it?
    You say it would but I can see otherwise

    You’ve always told sweet irresistible lies
      feeding chocolate to a diabetic
    Sad how I only notice once I’ve consumed it
    Fueling the disease, little by little
    But I don’t care because it’s just too good
    Poisoning my insides but it doesn’t matter much to you
      you get your benefits, I get my temporary happiness
    Win-win in the eyes of Mr. Smoke-and-Mirrors

    I know the trick:
      Smoke for obscurity and mirrors for deception
    It’s all so obvious that I should just turn away
    It’s all been done before
    But it gets so hard when you make it all seem interesting

    I get so fixated
