Assimilate by Gradient (Band) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let the chips fall where they may
Let the trees sway, let nature have its way
It’s hard to go against the grain

[Verse 2]
A man sits there, there he stays
Some hate change, they want everything to stay the same
But that’s life, you can’t abstain from playing the game

[Chorus 1]
I don’t like it but I have to abide by it
Acquaint new friends
Then I pretend that I like them
I will follow all their trends
So I’m not lonely in the end

[Verse 3]
A carbon copy, I’ll be rendered
When the end goal is to be remembered
To not be seen as an outlander
[Verse 4]
I won’t deny the urge to pander
There’s little use in being clever
When it’s better being late than severed

[Chorus 2]
I don’t like it but we have to abide by it
Acquaint new friends
Then pretend we like them
On each other, we will come to depend
So we’re not lonely in the end

[Bridge]
What’s the point of assimilation
If we’re living in a simulation
All these useless conversations
That still give us a warm sensation

[Chorus 3]
Living life just for reactions
Spilling lies just to redact them
Hide our true colors just to blend
So we’re not lonely in the end
