Black lotus

It would have been easier and clever to just pass by
but I had to try the taste, get a sample for the collection of mine

It's luring me from my misery, making me strong in my dreams
should not let it get any deeper, it hasn't even crossed my mind
modifies to my expactations, distorting my hallucinations
making me defenseless but it hasn't even crossed my mind

Far fetched ideas of happiness, might just come true and compensate
one thousand years of loneliness, just for black lotus

I should have reminded myself of the presence of ignorance
before I got so damn tangled up with that tempting finesse
