Robert Priest
Fishing you In
For each one it may be different
but something will catch you
A word a phrase a name will reel you in
and you won't be able to break free
Before you click and open
they've got your number
They know your kinks
There are manuals about your psychology
Squirm all you like
Even that involuntary flinch
inches you that much more
onto the hook
