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 horseshoe crab in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such distance (2)________ our friends
like a (3)______________ across a lens,
made (4)____________________ look (5)__________ from anywhere we stood
and our paper blew away before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of salty 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 well understand
it (6)__________ a steady (7)________ to navigate (8)____________________ waters
The propeller's spinning blades held acquaintance with the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
The cloth blowing on the mast (9)________ 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 (10)__________ want someone so (11)__________ as to want (12)______________ like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not what I expected it to be!
I still 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 still docked
Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, (13)________ no need to be strong
We (14)________ our confessions (15)________ and when we pray we keep it short

I drank a (16)______________ (17)________ of (18)________ and I'm not (19)________ coming back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while watching sink the heavy (20)________ of (21)____________________ we knew
If ever you (22)________ near I'll hold up (23)________ a mirror
Lord, I could never (24)________ you anything as beautiful as You
