I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold...
Eb My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
DbAbm It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
Db I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
AbmEb And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it
Abm And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
BGb So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn the holes
Abm I'm going in -whole-
Ebm This is the start of how it all ends
Gb They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
DbEbmAbm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Ebm We rip the start, the colors disappear
Gb I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
DbEbmAbm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Db I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
AbmEb And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
Abm And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
BGb People talk to me, and all their faces blur bright, I got my
Abm Fingers laced together and I made a little prison
Gb*
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
Abm I'm going in -whole-
Ebm This is the start of how it all ends
Gb They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
DbEbmAbm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Ebm We rip the start, the colors disappear
Gb I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
DbEbmAbm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
Ebm And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Gb Sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
DbEbmEbm And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
