Sets Us Apart

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
 And so I tied up my veins for that bow in your hair
 And I took blame for pain that was already there
 When you reached 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
 I loved you
 I loved you
 I loved you
 Can you hear me?
 I love you still
 Can you hear me?
 Can you can you can you hear me?
