Alma Mater

Michael Yankovich

This is my alma mater
We go around and around a-
This is my alma mater
We go around and around a-

cnd I'm already there again
It's like a switchblade into my teeth
I spilled it all on the floor
Keep coming back 'cause I'm your favorite treat

Over and over again
You'll never understand the distance
Over and over again
I know where the poison sits

Fallen, chosen
On my way out of the torment
I feel you try to pull me back in

I feel you pulling me down
(I thought I found a way out)
Every word a match on the ground
(I believed that I didn't have to drown)

Empty rooms don't equal loneliness
I could speak
I could feel
I could breathe
I thought I moved on from this

Truth versus self-fulfilling prophecy
I know there's more to this
But I'm still struggling to see the other side and I'm

clready there again
clready there again
Years ahead, stepped away from the dread
Feels like I'm already there again

Empty rooms don't equal loneliness
I could speak
I could feel
I could breathe
I thought I moved on from this

Truth versus self-fulfilling prophecy
I know there's more to this
But I'm still struggling to see the other side and I'm

clready there again
clready there again
Years ahead, stepped away from the dread
Feels like I'm already there again

There again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Empty rooms don't equal loneliness
I thought that I moved on from this

Vice Versa
