The Mars Volta - Since We've Been Wrong

Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slipped 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 found a way out through those eyelids
When all the days become a castaway
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
The flowers inside me grow as empty
The walls between us
Will never break
Just seal it shut, it grows empty

Since we've been wrong
I've been poured away
Since we've been wrong
You will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure all the way
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?
