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 fires 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 it
And now people talk
to me but nothing ever
hits home people talk
to me and all the
voices just burn holes
I'm going in (ooh)
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 kinds
And the shivers
move down
my shoulder blades
in double time
Well 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'm going in (ooh)
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
We're at the start
and this is the
red, orange, yellow
flicker beat
beat, beat, beat
