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

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,
and (5)__________ me (6)________________ louder at the jokes told by their daughters
I'd set my (7)____________ for land,
but you well understand

but a few (14)______________ off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not (15)________ I (16)________________ it to be!

To an anchor ever-dropped, seasick yet still docked
Captain (19)______________ (20)______________ (21)________ his first mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We keep our confessions (22)________ and when we pray we (23)________ it short

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

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
while (25)________________ (26)________ the heavy ship of everything we knew
If ever you come (27)________ I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I (28)__________ never show you anything as (29)__________________ as You
