Lyrics Zach Callison – Familiar

Familiar, why is this so familiar?
Familiar, like something I use to know
Familiar, staring up at the ceiling
Familiar, I swear that I know this feeling

Where everybody wants me to be mom
And everything I do, I do it wrong
I sway them with a joke, or with a song
And maybe that’ll help us get along

Familiar, why is this so familiar?
Familiar, like something I use to do
Familiar, she used to throw a tantrum
Insisting that, «Hey, I’m a diamond too.»

I bet she drove them crazy all the time
They love her but they’re leaving her behind
With more important places they should be
Then hanging out with someone just like me

Familiar, that’s why it’s so familiar
Familiar, like someone I used to be
Familiar, but this time I’ve had some practice
At helping a struggling family

Oh, I’ll get them all together in one place
And once we’re all together, face to face
I’ll show them all the error of their ways
And stop their spread of terror across space
