I fashioned this ribbon from my own velvet tears

I melted these flowers just to make you a ring

Adorned with this madness

You scream in the dark

Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart

Your beauty was potent

I choke at the thought

Your hair streams from ivy

Your eyes

Crystalline stars

Your beautiful nightmares

You see them as art

Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart

Tied up my veins for that bow in your hair

And I took blame for pain that was already there

But when you reach the last stretch you crawl back to the start

Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart

Can you feel

Do you know the shallow ground that holds that beautiful piece of your heart

That I never got to kiss

And now all I do is miss

Those things that set us apart
