Lozenges

from Rosebud by Hakken-Kraks

/

about

lozenges are used to treat sore throats. The effect they have is a metaphor for the soothing feeling of being in a relationship. And it really feels like a relationship sometimes, but it's not. I still have hope, however.

lyrics

softly, she's tracing the lengths of my fingers
(ohhhh-ahhhh) lasting effect of it lingers

I'm over and done
it's all I have left now
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I could live in a cloud
where I could sit around
and take a look at the town
this pressure is making me drown

lozenges soothe the sore throat of a bad ending
(ohhhh-ahhhh) bleeding hearts in need of mending

it's over now
it's just a plateau, yeah
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I never made a sound
I'm much too loud,
never pleasin' the crowd
was there a reason to be proud?




someone just break the spell
tell me "it's all an illusion"
lie to my face and let me stir in the confusion
keep trippin' over, fallin' down
caused a big contusion
I don't know what to believe anymore-
this suffocation delusion

it never ends
it's all I have left now
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I could live in a cloud
where I could sit around
and take a look at the town
this pressure is making me drown

numbed when it rains and the ceiling begins to seep
(ohhhh-ahhh) puts me right to sleep

and now in my dreams, it's the only way I cope
I'm still holding out for any inkling of hope

I still have hope
