Circa Survive
The Difference Between Medicine and Poison Is in the Dose (Demo Version)
[Verse 1]
Move one inch at a time
Don’t make this rhyme
Would it be easy to repeat the first line?
My mind’s not a well
It won’t run dry
Just keep drinking water and you’ll be alright
This is paralysis
With no time at all to let go

[Chorus]
Oh!
What will they call me
If they don’t call me by my first name?
It feels much safer to know
That you’re only temporarily gone!
This way, as it stands, I could never move away
Have you ever wished you were somebody else?

[Verse 2]
Don’t touch your body
Write it down but don’t say too much
You haven’t lived long enough to get far
Just lasting this long
I feel relieved to let repetition (repetition, repetition…)
[Chorus]
Woah!
What will they call us
If they don’t call us by our full names?
It feels much safer to know
That you’ll always come home

[Verse 3]
Well, don’t touch your body
Write it down but don’t stray too far
I can’t be honest with the people I love
I wish I was anybody else!

[Bridge]
Keep your hands to yourself!
Don’t touch your body! (don’t touch your body, no!)
Keep your hands to yourself!
And I ask you to know
Am I repeating? (repeating, repeating…)

[Chorus]
Woah!
What will they call us
If they don’t call us by our first names?
It’s so relieving to know
That you’ll all be gone
[Verse 4]
Don’t touch your body
Write it down but don’t say too much
I get so angry with the people you love (you know that)
You can’t do anything! (anything)
