Abyssinia from Everything Unsaid by Screaming Maldini

I surface splashing, gasping at the night,
Keep my head above the water.
All my limbs are aching, lungs are tired
Sick of holding this together

And all I see is future me:
This path laid out, this destiny
But I can't shake this old city,
I'm losing and I'm tired

She said, "Swim away

"Use the waves, use you words,
Push your body under, Abyssinia"

Desire on a shoestring sunk the boat,
Now we're all in this together.
The clocks go back -
This girl goes back to waste another week,
Witness the ending of my tether.

And all I see is future me:
This path laid out, this destiny
But I can't shake this old city,
I'm losing and I'm tired

She said, "Swim away,

"Use the waves, use you words,
Push your body under, Abyssinia.
Hold your tongue, hold your nerve -
You're just treading water, Abyssinia"

Oh, the morning slips away...
