«yellow flicker 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
it keeps my veins hot, the fire's 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 our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
so people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
i'm going in
this is the start of how it ever ends
they used to shout my name, now they whisper it
