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 (1)______________________ dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such (2)________________ from our friends
like a (3)______________ (4)____________ a lens,
made everything look wrong from (5)________________ we stood
and our paper blew away before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of (6)__________ wood

Caught me making eyes at the (7)__________ boatman's wives,
and heard me (8)________________ louder at the jokes told by (9)__________ daughters
I'd set my (10)____________ for land,
but you well understand
it takes a (11)____________ hand to navigate adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning (12)____________ (13)________ acquaintance (14)________ the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
The (15)__________ blowing on the mast like 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 never want (16)______________ so crass as to (17)________ someone (18)________ me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not what I (19)________________ it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that (20)________ 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 (21)______________ (22)________ his first mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We keep our confessions (23)________ and (24)________ we pray we keep it short

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

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while watching (25)________ the heavy (26)________ of everything we knew
If ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I (27)__________ never show you anything as beautiful as You
