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 unnecessary dying
like the (1)__________________ 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 paper blew away before we'd (4)________ 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 heard me (5)________________ louder at the jokes told by (6)__________ daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand

To an anchor ever-dropped, seasick yet still docked
Captain spotted (17)______________ (18)________ his (19)__________ mate at the wheel,
floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong
We (20)________ our (21)______________________ long and when we pray we keep it short

I (22)__________ a (23)______________ full of (24)________ and I'm not ever coming back

Oh, my God!

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