Yellow Flicker Beat by Lorde

I got to know this song during all the Hunger Games trailers and the radio and it grew on me. I wasn't so sure at first but like I said, it grew on me. I know I have at least 1 more of her songs on here so you can probably guess what that is.

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.

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)

[Chorus:]

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 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

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)

[Chorus]

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
