Whalesounds by The Stereo State Lyrics

Can’t say exactly when that moment was where we lost our innocence, lost our youth
But I can say that it’s been a steady decline since we lost the fire in our throats, we lost the fight in our guts
Don’t tell me that it’s all a part of growing up, losing touch and falling apart
I’ve been fed that bullshit since I was child to prepare me for a world calloused and cold, hoping one day I would “break the mold”
And graduate close to home from a local state school. Get a teaching gig up north and make a difference in a child’s life, maybe save my own
Now I sit here with baited breath, waiting on a second guess
Down here we’re all living to the best of our abilities
But these full time jobs are making us dependent on caffeine, beer, and quoting movies
Reality is eating us alive, no matter how hard we try

We are searching for meaning, a sense of pride, a sense of accomplishment. We all long to be free
We are searching for meaning, a sense of pride, a sense of accomplishment. We all long to be free
At the end of the day, we all want to say that we’re truly free
