INTOXICATED
By Vera Von Monika
Verse 1
Candle lit without permission.
Room shifts before it understands why.
Red wax moving like it already knows him
like it’s been through his silence before.
Nothing arrives clean.
Nothing arrives neutral.
Air thickens, then stays that way,
like something decided to remain.
Pre-Chorus
No name attached.
Still it reacts.
Not memory.
Effect.
Chorus
Intoxicated — no release,
caught in something underneath.
Toxic like a silent burn,
something he can’t unlearn.
Red flower left in view,
like it already belongs to you.
Not given, not defined
still it crosses every line.
Verse 2
He doesn’t track what changes,
but nothing resets after it.
Space feels slightly misaligned,
like it’s been rewritten in silence.
Petals dark, edges sharp,
like intention left a mark.
Not touch, not contact, not trace
just a shift in his place.
Pre-Chorus
And it doesn’t need return,
it just adjusts how things turn.
Even absence starts to lean
like it knows what she means.
Chorus
Intoxicated — no escape,
something shifting every shape.
Toxic like a velvet burn,
something he can’t unlearn.
Red flower, candle flame,
nothing here stays the same.
Not arrival, not goodbye—
just something he can’t deny.
Bridge
No contact, still too close,
like it knows what he won’t post.
Something stays in afterlight,
longer than the night.
Final Chorus
Intoxicated, slow and low,
something only he will know.
Toxic like a quiet rule,
making everything untrue.
Red flower never fades,
candle burns in silent waves.
And what was never said
moves inside his head.
