All That Is Precious
You Are Correct
Weird Serial-Relationship Woman · Ambiguous Unified Death · Dark Upbeat Indie Rock
#VERSE
You dig at all that is precious
Chiseling marble beneath our feet
Breaking the slabs where we should tread
You force our love to full retreat
#PRE-CHORUS
Running away from cliffs of passion
You now find fear in unified death
Won’t jump with me off that edge
Your breathless kisses have no breath
#CHORUS
All that is precious
All that is pure
Is warmly wrapped in
Your faded fake fur
#VERSE
That fur is your prized possession
For controversy it inflames
Like my love for you—a shambles
From your heart-slaughter games
#CHORUS
All that is precious
All that is pure
Is warmly wrapped in
Your faded fake fur
False pretenses
Engaging and infectious
Now you dig, dig, dig at
All that is precious
Dig, dig, dig at
All that is precious
#BRIDGE
You are a medieval
Streaming series
Of kings and castles
Battles won
You sit with me
In silent darkness
Watch the screen
Until it’s done
#BRIDGE
And wielding its
Gilded gold quotations
You kidnap
My personality
Use the words
To shape the outcome
Force me to kneel
To the fur-wrapped queen
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
I took you dancing at Apple Gate
Bowed my head at your mother’s church
Bought you a red and blue macaw
But you and it both left your perch
#PRE-CHORUS
Now you fly to your new conquest
Another fool on marble steps
Inviting him to walk with you
To jump from the cliff of unified death
#CHORUS
All that is precious
All that is pure
For him, like me
It’s a one-year blur
We’re fools who wait
For you to fetch us
Then you dig, dig, dig at
#CHORUS
All that is precious
All that is pure
Wickedly wrapped in
Your faded fake fur
False pretenses
Engaging and infectious
Dig, dig, digging for gold and
All that is precious
Dig, dig, dig for
All that is precious
#OUTRO
A scarlet macaw and
All that is precious
