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 (2)____________ seasons sheds its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch (3)____________ a lens,
made everything look wrong from anywhere we stood
and our (4)__________ blew (5)________ before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote (6)__________ songs on sheets of salty wood

Caught me making (7)________ at the other boatman's wives,
and (8)__________ me (9)________________ louder at the jokes told by their daughters

is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
To an anchor ever-dropped, (21)______________ yet (22)__________ docked
Captain spotted (23)______________ with his (24)__________ mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We keep our confessions long and when we (25)________ we keep it short

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

Oh, my God!

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