(This Is Not) The Age Of Aquarius

written 8/8/12

This is not the age of Aquarius
This is the age of acquiescence
Because everything is the same as it was
And there is nothing we can do
So release your patience
Just give up and learn to take it
Because if there is a change for the better
You know damn well it won't involve you

State your name please for the record
Be prepared, for this tie is severed
I know nothing lasts forever
But can't I just get one fair shot?
I'm not asking you for fortune
I just wanna get in before the door shuts
Don't you know what it's like to wait outside alone?
Well, me is all I've got

This is not the age of Aquarius
This is the age of hysteria
Because we are so afraid to live
As though we had so much to lose
Fear is the president, chaos is the Congress
We would sell our souls for someone to be honest
But we can't bear the pain of truth
So we just sit and never move

State your name please for the record
Be prepared, for this tie is severed
I know nothing lasts forever
But can't I just get one fair shot?
I'm not asking you for fortune
I just wanna get in before the door shuts
Don't you know what it's like to wait outside alone?
Well, me is all I've got

This is not the age of Aquarius
This is just the age of barriers
The walls inside our hearts are high
And I have yet to see open sky
But I think I have found a way
So I will flee the keep today
I hope to see you standing by
On the other side
