stephan nance - hope or float lyrics

oh
what an
unfortunately
unsurprising turn of events
oh
what a
conundrum it presents

swing with a white+knuckled grip and
cling to the pieces of ship
or start in the water and
end in the water?
the swells
after all
intercept
just the tip

oh
what (on earth) can i do
i want help you (on sea)
i want to help you unsee
i want to help
but if i help you
i can’t help me
and if i go unhelped
what help can i be?
but what if everything is okay?
what if everything is
easy for once?
maybe everything can be
easy for once
maybе everything can just
be okay
yay
maybе that isn’t a psychopomp
maybe that’s our lifer hoopoe
maybe that little grim reaper
will grow up to be a lighthouse keeper

hope
hope
hope

i hit the deck
a cannonball
from a diving board
on the crow’s nest
best leave the stunts
to the unprofessionals
leave the stunts
to the unprofessionals
the boat’s
a hoax
a fantasy of control
a joke
see it for what it is
now that it’s broke
now we avail ourselves of its
splinters and rope
to impale ourselves
and hang ourselves
hope is what kept us from
learning to float

float
float
float

but go ahead
offer me another free cruise on a shipwreck
how could i refuse?
why can’t i refuse?
while there is life, there is hope—so
why, for the life of me, can’t i just float?

hope
hope
hope

hope
hope
as if the water i fear
is not the water i bathe in
