Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but (1)____________________ insist
Sailing in our separate ships
and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and trying there's unnecessary dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch (2)____________ a lens,
made everything look wrong from (3)________________ we stood
and our (4)__________ blew away before we'd left the bay,
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood

Caught me making (5)________ at the other boatman's wives,
and (6)__________ me (7)________________ louder at the (8)__________ told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you (9)________ understand
it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters
The propeller's spinning blades (10)________ acquaintance with the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
The cloth blowing on the mast like to say I've got no past
but I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's son
with (11)______________ on my brass and mildew on my glass,
I'd never want someone so (12)__________ as to want someone like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a (13)________________ lure
and I (14)____________ you, it was not what I expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that dull 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 (15)______________ (16)________ his first (17)________ at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, (18)________ no need to be strong
We (19)________ our confessions long and (20)________ we pray we keep it short

I (21)__________ 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 (22)____________________ we knew
If ever you come (23)________ I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never (24)________ you anything as beautiful as You
