Lyrics
[Verse 1] Some resist the future, some refuse the past Either way, it’s messed up if we can’t unplug the fact That a world covered in cables was never wired to last So don’t act so surprised when the program starts to crash
[Pre-Chorus] (How do I) Form a connection when we can’t even shake hands? You’re like a phantom greeting me We plot in the shadows, hang out in the gallows Stuck in a loop for eternity
[Chorus] Do you know why the flowers never bloom? Will you retry or let the pain resume? I need a new leader, we need a new Luden (A new Luden, new Luden, yeah) So come outside, it’s time to see the tide It’s out of sight, but never out of mind I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
[Verse 2] Sticks and stones may break my bones but soon the sting will pass But names can dig so many graves, you won’t know where to stand And I don’t feel secure no more unless I’m being followed And the only way to hide myself is to give ‘em one hell of a show
[Pre-Chorus] (How do I) Form a connection when we can’t even shake hands? You’re like a phantom greeting me We plot in the shadows, hang out in the gallows Stuck in a loop for eternity
[Chorus] Do you know why the flowers never bloom? Will you retry or let the pain resume? I need a new leader, we need a new Luden (A new Luden, new Luden, yeah) So come outside, it’s time to see the tide It’s out of sight, but never out of mind I need a new leader, we need a new Luden A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah Yeah
[Breakdown] Alright, you call this a connection? You call this a connection? You call this a connection? Okay You call this a connection? Oh, give me a break Oh, give me a break Oh, give me a break (Okay) Ugh, ooh
[Chorus] Do you know why the flowers never bloom? Will you retry or let the pain resume? I need a new leader, we need a new Luden (A new Luden, new Luden, yeah) So come outside, it’s time to see the tide It’s out of sight, but never out of mind I need a new leader, we need a new Luden A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah A new Luden, new Luden, yeah
[Outro] Do you know why the flowers never bloom? Will you retry or let the pain resume? I need a new leader, we need a new Luden
