like a moth to a flame,\
but the flame's just a light,\
deceived by this place,\
most days and some nights

It's not how they tell you,
'beware of the others',\
no, it's different in my life,\
and we'll never recover

a 'no' means a 'yes',\
or a 'maybe' means 'later',\
the message unclear,\
I'm confusion's translator

Unconventional Deception:

A fib made as a placeholder\
Given to create a delay\
For when I'm a little bolder\
And it's the truth that I can say

Meant as such to create no harm\
Yet it has prioritised I\
Left as social mines to disarm\
Risk with every moralised lie
