Dressed in blue what have they done to you? Although they said there'd be no pain, they cut your head and took your brain You shook their hand and in you bought then never gave another thought Dressed in blue look what they've done to you I call you But I can't control You do it for pride Never do what you're told And you say I can't be saved From following this road into the grave And you know what? I think I've heard enough So try to get someone else to behave Oh won’t you try and get someone else to behave? Dressed in blue we're at the door for you Won't let me in to check your pulse, but it's your choice. You're an adult I took your side when no one would. You turned me down and said "I'm good" Dressed in blue we're at the door for you I call you But I can't control You do it for pride Now you'll never grow old Everything you do is for you. That's not what you say You turn the wrong corner every day You want a nice life but you don't wanna change You already have in so many ways Remember the time you got sent home? I walked with you so you wouldn't go alone That's the way it was supposed to be A house for four has room for one But you'd never believe that you're under the gun Yes we are wired differently

Room 14 03:24
Room 14 your ghosts are still alive and well Room 14 you've taken me backwards through hell Can you see the color of the mirrors on the wall? Is it me with devil eyes on focus from all? Room 14 Room 14 your virtues have come under siege Room 14 you hide behind the company you keep Animosity, ugly thoughts, and presentiments You've aimed at me with tendrils that leave bloody prints Room 14 Have you ever been threatened by someone so out of touch with the world? They don't know much but they think you are at fault Peace to you all Good luck with your spineless back against the wall Room 14 have you got yours? Cause I've got mine Room 14 no cure for missing time Kerosene to end this relentless foray Burn it clean to drive the obsession away Room 14

Sylvius 07:43
Oh Sylvius, you hear what you want to hear The fact of the matter's not getting in your ear So pass the time For a while Day After day The night and day Become the same Then you die Well, we all die So come with us. It's post-truth, have no fears Walking on your egg shells every time you're near Won't you calm down Before you drown? In hate So much hate It's okay You'll have your way Before you're gone And we're all gone We'll be dressed up bones 'til the cows come home 'Cause you dropped your holy hand grenade down the rabbit hole Is it you or is it me that have been acting weird lately? You can have that archetype, I'll stick to recency Oh, Sylvius. Split from ear to ear The Glasgow smile for your brain, does it make you happier? Possibly Plausibly But not me Oh, but not me Oh Sylvius, you hear what you want to hear The fact of the matter, well it's fallen on deaf ears Won't you calm down Before you drown? In hate So much hate It's okay You'll have your way Before you're gone And we're all gone Now I think that you and I should go our separate ways There's nothing nice for you and me to say Yeah I really think that you and I should go our separate ways With nothing constructive for you and me to say
