Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but faithfully insist
Sailing in our (1)________________ ships
and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and trying there's unnecessary dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper seasons (2)__________ its shell
Such distance (3)________ our friends
like a scratch across a lens,
made everything (4)________ wrong from (5)________________ we stood
and our paper blew (6)________ before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote (7)__________ 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 (8)__________ daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning (9)____________ held acquaintance with the waves
as there's (10)________________ I've made no rowing could outrun
The (11)__________ (12)______________ on the mast like to say I've got no past
but I'm nonetheless the (13)__________________ and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass,
I'd never (14)________ someone so crass as to want someone like me
but a few (15)______________ 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 (16)________ hook in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod (17)______________ a reel
To an anchor ever-dropped, (18)______________ yet (19)__________ docked
Captain (20)______________ napping with his (21)__________ mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no (22)________ to be strong
We keep our confessions long and when we pray we (23)________ it short

I drank a thimble full of (24)________ and I'm not (25)________ coming back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while watching (26)________ the heavy ship of (27)____________________ we knew
If ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I (28)__________ never (29)________ you anything as beautiful as You
