Lys Vert - Backhand Kiss Lyrics

[Intro]
Sirens wailing, bodies railing against the night
In this concrete maze, we find our fight

[Verse 1]
Sweat drips in the underground, where we collide
Police scanners buzz while our bodies intertwined
Fatima's eyes flash like warning signs
Between pleasure and protest, we cross these lines
My father's hammer echoes in my veins
While we dance through tear gas and pain
F*ck their system, we make our own rules
Every touch is resistance, we ain't their tools

[Chorus]
In the dark we rise, in the heat we fall
Breaking down these walls, till they hear our call
Bodies speak the truth that words can't say
In this club tonight, revolution's foreplay

[Verse 2]
Her fingernails trace battle scars on my skin
While outside they're fighting, inside we're winning
Every kiss is warfare, every moan's a riot
They try to keep us quiet, but we ain't buying it
Between French and English, truth gets lost
But our bodies speak louder than the words they toss
In this condemned space, we find our grace
Middle fingers up to the power they embrace

[Bridge]
F*ck their peace if it means our silence
Love and rage dance in perfect violence
In these ruins, we build our throne
Every heartbeat's a brick, every breath's a stone

[Chorus]
In the dark we rise, in the heat we fall
Breaking down these walls, till they hear our call
Bodies speak the truth that words can't say
In this club tonight, revolution's foreplay

[Outro]
Let the sirens fade, let the night grow old
Our rebellion burns hotter than their control
In this moment, we are finally free
Writing history with our bodies, you and me
