Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

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

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,
and (5)__________ me laughing louder at the (6)__________ told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady hand to (7)________________ adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning (8)____________ held acquaintance (9)________ the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
The cloth (10)______________ on the mast like to say I've got no past
but I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's son
with (11)______________ on my brass and (12)____________ on my glass,
I'd (13)__________ (14)________ someone so crass as to want someone like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a (15)________________ lure
and I assure you, it was not what I expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, (16)________ 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 (17)__________ mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no (18)________ to be strong
We keep our confessions (19)________ and when we pray we keep it short

I (20)__________ a (21)______________ (22)________ of fire and I'm not ever (23)____________ back

Oh, my God!

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