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 from our friends
like a (3)______________ across a lens,
made everything (4)________ wrong from anywhere we stood
and our paper (5)________ away before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote (6)__________ songs on sheets of (7)__________ wood

Caught me making eyes at the (8)__________ boatman's wives,
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes (9)________ by (10)__________ daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it (11)__________ a steady hand to navigate (12)____________________ waters
The propeller's spinning blades held (13)________________________ with the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no (14)____________ could outrun
The (15)__________ blowing on the mast (16)________ 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 (17)________ someone so crass as to want someone like me
but a few (18)______________ off the shore, I bit a (19)________________ lure
and I assure you, it was not (20)________ I expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that dull (21)________ 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, with no need to be strong
We (22)________ our confessions long and when we pray we keep it short

I drank a thimble full of (23)________ and I'm not ever coming back

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while (24)________________ sink the (25)__________ ship of everything we knew
If ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could (26)__________ show you anything as (27)__________________ as You
