Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but (1)____________________ insist
Sailing in our separate ships
and from each (2)________ caravelle
Tiring and trying there's (3)______________________ dying
like the horseshoe (4)________ in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch (5)____________ a lens,
made everything (6)________ wrong (7)________ anywhere we stood
and our paper blew away (8)____________ we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of (9)__________ wood

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you (10)________ understand
it takes a steady (11)________ to (12)________________ adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning blades held (13)________________________ (14)________ the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
The cloth (15)______________ on the mast like to say I've got no past
but I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass,
I'd never want (16)______________ so crass as to (17)________ someone like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not (18)________ I expected it to be!
I (19)__________ taste its kiss, that dull hook in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
To an anchor ever-dropped, seasick yet (20)__________ docked
Captain spotted napping with his first (21)________ at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, (22)________ no need to be strong
We keep our (23)______________________ long and when we pray we keep it short

I drank a thimble full of fire and I'm not ever coming back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while (24)________________ (25)________ the heavy ship of everything we knew
If ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could (26)__________ show you anything as (27)__________________ as You
