Since We've Been Wrong

do you remember how you wore that dress
it slit my sight beneath the eyelids
do you remember what you said to me
what course has given you the right to stray
and in your living tomb i’m stuck but safe
the clocks are ticking fast with every breath

since we’ve been wrong
i’ve been part awake
since we’ve been wrong
you will never ever know me
what took you so long
i’m not sure all the way
but my heart it asks just one more time
are you still a mess

one day a rain will come to wash away
the earth that held us was no island
i have become ingrown inside this skin
i’ll find a way out through those eyelids

and all the days become a cast away
i seem to think i don’t belong here

since we’ve been wrong
i’ve been part awake
since we’ve been wrong
you will never ever know me
what took you so long
i’m not sure all the way
but my heart it asks just one more time
are you still a mess

i don’t belong here
i shouldn’t stay
what falls inside me grows empty
the walls between us will never break
just seals it shut
it grows empty

since we’ve been wrong
i’ve been part awake
since we’ve been wrong
you will never ever know me
what took you so long
i’m not sure all the way
but my heart it asks just one more time
are you still a mess

Since We’ve Been Wrong was initially intended for The Bedlam in Goliath, but per interviews did not fit with the album.  It was first debuted at the 2007 New Year’s Eve show during the band’s acoustic set.  A brief clip of the song leaked onto the internet in early 2008.  The first minute of the song is quiet ambience which on streaming platforms has been separated from the song and titled “credits”.  

When played live Henry Trejo would play an acoustic guitar off stage.
