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 find 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 our 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, 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 rip the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars
There's so much down here
So I just try to 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 my people talk to me
I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me
And all their faces blur, but I've got
My fingers laced together
And I made a little prisioner
And I'm locking up everyone
Who ever laid a finger on me

I'm done with it, 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 rip the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars
There's so much down here
So I just try to 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
