i'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm & the scars that mark my body, they’re silver & 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 & my necklace is of rope, i tie it & untie & now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home people talk to me, & 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 & 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 to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
i dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds & the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time & now people talk to me, i'm slipping out of reach now people talk to me, & all their faces blur but i got my fingers laced together & i made a little prison & i’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me I’m done with it (ooh)

i'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
& the scars that mark my body, they’re silver & 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
& my necklace is of rope, i tie it & untie
& now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
people talk to me, & 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 & 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 to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
i dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds
& the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
& now people talk to me, i'm slipping out of reach now
people talk to me, & all their faces blur
but i got my fingers laced together & i made a little prison
& i’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I’m done with it (ooh)
