The Fire Left in the Nun's Bed
Julie d'Aubigny / La Maupin
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your dopamine floods through my neural pathways, A rapier's precision in how you move, You breach my defenses with every glance, My mirror neurons dance when you arrive, Like steel meeting steel in the quiet hours. [Chorus] You're the duel I chose to fight forever, Steel and silk wrapped around my heart, You're the duel I chose to fight forever, My oxytocin sings, we'll never part. [Verse 2] Your laughter triggers my reward cascade, Serotonin blooms across my brain, You parry every wall I built before, My amygdala surrenders without strain, And I'm defenseless in the wake of you. [Bridge] Cross blades with me beneath the stars, Your touch rewires all my neurons bright, We're fencing through the dark with burning hearts, Two swords becoming one in this fight, Where every strike ignites a thousand fires, And every parry feeds our wild desires. [Chorus] You're the duel I chose to fight forever, Steel and silk wrapped around my heart, You're the duel I chose to fight forever, My oxytocin sings, we'll never part. [Verse 3] Your presence synchronizes every beat, My vagus nerve ignites when you're near, You thrust through centuries of my resistance, My prefrontal cortex knows you're here, As ancient battles wage beneath my skin. [Bridge] Cross blades with me beneath the stars, Your touch rewires all my neurons bright, We're fencing through the dark with burning hearts, Two swords becoming one in this fight, Where every strike ignites a thousand fires, And every parry feeds our wild desires. [Chorus] You're the duel I chose to fight forever, Steel and silk wrapped around my heart, You're the duel I chose to fight forever, My oxytocin sings, we'll never part. [Outro] In this endless match we fight as one, Your rapier and mine have crossed at last, We sheathe our swords when daylight comes.
