I'm a princess cut from marble
Smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body
They're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot
The fire's found a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
And my necklace is of rope
I tie it and untie
And now people talk to me but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me and all the voices just burn holes
I'll done with it, oh
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up, and this is the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colours disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try keep up with the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
I dream all year but they're not the sweet kind
And the shivers move down my shoulder
Blades in double time
And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I'll done with it, oh
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up, and this is the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colours disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try keep up with the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange yellow flicker beat
Beat, beat, beat
