Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

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

Caught me making (7)________ at the other boatman's wives,
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes (8)________ by their daughters

floating (16)______________________ along, with no need to be strong
We keep our confessions long and when we pray we keep it short

I (17)__________ a thimble full of fire and I'm not ever (18)____________ back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we (19)____________________ insist
while watching (20)________ the (21)__________ (22)________ of everything we knew
If ever you (23)________ near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I (24)__________ never show you (25)________________ as beautiful as You
