Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but (1)____________________ insist
Sailing in our separate ships
and from each tiny caravelle
Tiring and (2)____________ there's unnecessary dying
like the horseshoe (3)________ in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such (4)________________ from our friends
like a (5)______________ across a lens,

so half-blind we wrote these (6)__________ on sheets of salty wood

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,
and (7)__________ me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters
