From a stage in your heart, I can tell that you're far from yourself when you barter your lust for your health. And when you claim it's all a play, and you just don't care, I only stare… I’m a director watching you rehearse. You say, "Lend me your eyes to evolve from that actor I fight in the dark, where I'm two twins I can't tell apart!" But you remember which is which when the wrong man wins. You will hate who you are ’til you overthrow who you've been. How’d you expect your soul to send a whole patrol if you were too far gone for me to know where to find you? I’ve wandered out alone into your cold unknown to try to bring you home. So you forgot your way? Well I’m trying to remind you.
If there is one album I want to relive and reexperience once again, it would definitely be this one. The array of emotions you could feel through is staggering. I revisit it from time to time whenever I contemplate about things. This is my own form of catharsis and it helped me so much. I treasure this hidden gem.
When I first listened to this album, I didn't fall in love right away--like I had with Hospice. But then I listened to this song on my giant headphones, and holy eff, it made all the difference. And the lyrics really just hit me hard. So beautiful.
Familiars is the finest work. It's a masterpiece. I loved Hospice so much. Was afraid to listen to anything else they put out, but it's crazy that Hospice is now my least favorite album of theirs. Crazy to think about when it had such a tremendous impact on me.
Hospice is beautiful, but Familiars somehow hits me harder than anything else. It's a like a funerary dance with the memories of people and a self long lost and gone.
I lost my best friend 4 years ago almost to the day and this song hits the mark. Such a beautiful soul to be lost to the darkness. Still shakes me to my core. Learn to love to live to love and learn to live to love to live.

Letra: No estágio do seu coração Eu posso ver que está longe de si mesmo Quando você troca o desejo pela saúde E fala que é tudo atuação E você simplesmente não liga Eu só assisto Eu sou um diretor Vendo você ensaiar Você diz, "me empresta os seus olhos para evoluir Daquele ator com quem eu luto no escuro Quando sou gêmeos que não consigo diferenciar" Mas você lembra qual é qual Quando quem está errado vence Você vai odiar quem você é até derrotar quem já foi Como você espera que a sua alma mande uma patrulha inteira Se está longe demais para que eu saiba onde encontrá-lo? Eu andei sozinho até o frio desconhecido Pra tentar te trazer pra casa Você esqueceu o seu caminho? Bem, eu estou tentando lembrá-lo ♥️
