Modern Angst

Written by Zachary Myers Theriault · 2024

[Chorus]

Time slipped away
In a cage
I don’t wanna be
Defined by my past
And my last
Kiss and sodomy

Throw it all away
In a rage
Of autonomy
Now is the time
Time to
Slay my final enemy

[Verse 1]

I’m broken
Will I ever find the missing piece?
(oooh oh)
Feels like
I’m frozen
In an age that I cannot leave
(ooooooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

The sticks and stones
And the more you knows
(I know you are, but what am I?)
The risks you take
And the ones you don’t
(Hello, hello, hello?)

[Chorus]

Time slipped away
In a cage
I don’t wanna be
Defined by my past
And my last
Kiss and sodomy

Throw it all away
In a rage
Of autonomy
Now is the time
Time to
Slay my final enemy

[Verse 2]

I’ve awoken
I feel a fire burn inside of me
(oooh oh)
But I’m still
Soft spoken
I gotta let the fire in me breathe
(ooooooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

The sticks and stones
And the more you knows
(I know you are, but what am I?)
The risks you take
And the ones you don’t
(Hello, hello, hello?)

[Bridge]

Gone are the days
(I don’t wanna be)
In a cage

Now I’m doin’ fine
(Where I wanna be)
Twenty-nine

Throw it all away
(In a rage)
Of autonomy

Now is the time
(Time to)
Slay my final enemy

[Chorus]

Time slipped away
In a cage
I don’t wanna be
Defined by my past
And my last
Kiss and sodomy

Throw it all away
In a rage
Of autonomy
Now is the time
Time to
Slay my final enemy
