So this is why we try? We bet it all on hopeless?

So this is why we try? We bet it all on hopeless?
And swim against the tide ’til until our every bone is broken
A sinking ship is still a ship, no captain has spoke the obit
‘Til the crew is flew, crow’s nest slips silent beneath the ocean
We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that never stop
An anchor’s just a coffin nail, waiting for that hammer drop
