Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but (1)____________________ insist
Sailing in our (2)________________ ships
and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and trying there's (3)______________________ dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper (4)______________ (5)__________ its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch across a lens,
made everything (6)________ wrong from (7)________________ we stood
and our (8)__________ blew away (9)____________ we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote these (10)__________ on sheets of salty wood

Caught me making eyes at the (11)__________ boatman's wives,
and heard me laughing louder at the (12)__________ told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you (13)________ understand
it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning blades (14)________ acquaintance with 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 (16)______________________ the librarian and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and (17)____________ on my glass,
I'd never want someone so crass as to want someone 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 (18)________ (19)________ in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
To an anchor ever-dropped, (20)______________ yet still docked
Captain (21)______________ (22)______________ with his first mate at the wheel,
floating (23)______________________ along, with no need to be strong
We (24)________ our confessions long and when 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 sink the heavy ship of everything we knew
If ever you (25)________ near I'll hold up (26)________ a mirror
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You
