It might be easier to start with the second line.

1$\begingroup$ @randal'thor No, not this time. (I would have marked it with knowledge if it did.) It might require some general knowledge, but I don't think that's anything obscure. $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 12:16

Is it
Mark Zuckerberg
Anointed Lord of the Crystal Mountain
Zucker berg = sugar mountain (and perhaps crystal refers to sugar crystals?)
wields a book of human skin.
He knows who you love,
FaceBook Graph?
has a key to your box
Encryption?
and can strap you to a lucid dream.
Augmented Reality app?

$\begingroup$ This is the correct answer! You got everything right except for the box part - it refers to mailbox, since the {second line} asks people to give it their login and password for their e-mail so it can scrape it for known addresses. No, I don't mean by open-authentication style scheme, I mean by literally filling them in a form and handing them over to {second line}, which is presumably saved and reused. $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 7, 2017 at 6:20

$\begingroup$ Also: anointing is a kind of marking, isn't it? $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 7, 2017 at 6:21

$\begingroup$ You are on the right track - you have deciphered half of the meaning behind first verse and the title - but this is not the answer. A question that might help you: what kind of material could count as human skin? $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 15:23

$\begingroup$ For the allusion to human skin - palm sugar? $\endgroup$– LawrenceCommented Jun 5, 2017 at 14:34

$\begingroup$ Other candidates for "human skin": fabric, clothes, armor, makeup, basically any worn outer layer. $\endgroup$– MikeQCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 19:04

I think you're
Honey
Anointed Lord of the Crystal Mountain
Honey contains sugar, a crystal. In a way, honey is like an *anointment * on sugar.
wields a book of human skin.
Um... maybe it's referring to a honeycomb? Not sure.
He knows who you love,
Lot of people call their bf/gf/wife/husband "Honey"
has a key to your box
Not sure
and can strap you to a lucid dream.
Probably something about how sweets can cause lucid dreams
And finally...
The title includes the word sweet

$\begingroup$ Good try, but you went in the wrong direction compared to Silenus' answer. I really like how the first two answers interpreted the
who you loveverse in the same way, but it's not about that. As for the first verse: anointment is not related or a part of lordship. $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 4, 2017 at 18:30 -

I don't think I've quite got it, as not everything matches each other, but I can manage to get it around a central theme, so I'm sure there are better matches than I've found thus far.
Are you
iPhone/iDevice
Anointed Lord of the Crystal Mountain
iPhones are an industry leader in smart phones, which utilize LCDs (liquid crystal display)
wields a book of human skin.
Your contact book (contains many faces)
He knows who you love,
Tracks most frequently contacted people, and contacts manually marked as favorites
has a key to your box
You can check your e-mail (inbox) from your iPhone
and can strap you to a lucid dream.
This may be a reference to the iBand+, purported to induce lucid dreaming, although it is not an Apple product.
Title:
Most iDevices are by Apple, and apples taste sweet.

$\begingroup$ Wow, that's a good one - it's the most fitting of all the incorrect answers so far. However, the correct answer was given by shree.pat18. $\endgroup$– DragomokCommented Jun 8, 2017 at 16:15
