[Intro]

I know nothing

I keep getting older


[Verse]

My whole generation misguided, we are one and the same

It cuts me deep

I pray understanding that I won't be heard

I'm in line like everyone else, there's no exception

I lay still with my legs shaking out of anxiety

Some people ain't comfortable with their sexuality

It must be awful to wake up and live a lie

Society tells us we need money, we need a mortgage

We fall into what's expected instead of what we want

Greed fuels the hungry and no one gives a fuck

We rely on a system that's failed us

We're in prison waiting for a day off

Social media distorts our perception of reality

'Cause everyone seems happy, in fact, they're miserable

And that's why they need gratification from strangers


[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes, I look in the mirror and reflect on what I used to be

Before the people I loved started using me


[Chorus]

I know nothing, I'm just getting older

I know nothing, I'm just getting older

I know nothing, I'm just getting older (I know nothing)

I know nothing, I'm just getting older (Getting older)

I know nothing, I'm just getting older


[Verse]

My whole generation misguided, we are one and the same

It cuts me deep

I pray understanding that I won't be heard

I'm in line like everyone else, there's no exception

I lay still with my legs shaking out of anxiety

Some people ain't comfortable with their sexuality

It must be awful to wake up and live a lie

Society tells us we need money, we need a mortgage

We fall into what's expected instead of what we want

Greed fuels the hungry and no one gives a fuck


[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes, I look in the mirror and reflect on who I used to be

Before the people I loved started using me


[Chorus]

I know nothing, I keep getting older

I know nothing, I keep getting older

I know nothing, I keep getting older (I know nothing)

I know nothing, I keep getting older

I know nothing, I keep getting old

I know nothing, I keep getting older

(I know nothing, I keep getting older)
