Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but faithfully insist
Sailing in our (1)________________ ships
and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and trying there's unnecessary dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper (2)______________ sheds its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch (3)____________ a lens,
made everything (4)________ wrong (5)________ anywhere we stood
and our paper blew away before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote (6)__________ songs on sheets of salty wood

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,
and (7)__________ me (8)________________ (9)____________ at the jokes told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady (10)________ to navigate adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning blades held acquaintance with the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing (11)__________ outrun
The cloth blowing on the mast like to say I've got no past
but I'm (12)______________________ the librarian and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass,
I'd (13)__________ want (14)______________ so (15)__________ as to want (16)______________ like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I (17)____________ you, it was not what I expected it to be!
I (18)__________ (19)__________ its kiss, that dull (20)________ in my lip
is a memory as (21)______________ as a rod without a reel
To an (22)____________ ever-dropped, (23)______________ yet still docked
Captain spotted napping with his (24)__________ mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We keep our (25)______________________ long and when we pray we keep it short

I drank a thimble (26)________ of fire and I'm not ever coming back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we (27)____________________ insist
while watching sink the heavy (28)________ of everything we knew
If ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you (29)________________ as beautiful as You
