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
