Yellow Flicker Beat

Lyrics

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 fight
 
 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 done with it (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 colors disappear
 I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
 So I just try to keep up with them
 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
 ♪
 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'm done with it (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 colors disappear
 I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
 So I just try to keep up with them
 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
 
 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

 I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight
