Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but faithfully insist
Sailing in our separate ships
and from each tiny caravelle

like the horseshoe crab in its (1)____________ seasons sheds its shell

like a (2)______________ across a lens,
made everything (3)________ wrong (4)________ anywhere we stood

We keep our confessions long and (18)________ we pray we keep it short

I drank a thimble full of fire and I'm not ever (19)____________ back

Oh, my God!

I do not (20)__________ we faithfully insist
while watching (21)________ the heavy ship of everything we knew
If ever you (22)________ near I'll (23)________ up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you (24)________________ as beautiful as You
