Ludens

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
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
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
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
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 a hell of a show.
You call this a connection?
Give me a break.
