Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

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

Caught me making (9)________ at the (10)__________ boatman's wives,
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady hand 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 nonetheless the (12)__________________ and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass,
I'd (13)__________ want (14)______________ so crass as to (15)________ (16)______________ (17)________ 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, (20)________ dull hook in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
To an anchor ever-dropped, seasick yet still docked
Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We keep our confessions long and (21)________ we pray we (22)________ it short

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

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we (23)____________________ insist
while watching sink the heavy (24)________ of everything we knew
If (25)________ you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You
