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
 [bad word]  precious stones
it keeps my veins hot
the fire’s found a home in me
I move through town I’m quiet like a fight
and my necklace is of rope,
I tie it and untie
people talk to me,
but nothing ever hits home
people talk to me
and all the voices just burn holes

I’m done with it (oooooh)
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
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’m done with it (oooooh)
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
