Callow Billow by Kai Neumann Lyrics

Hollow as a crooked pipe conducting waste to the corroded sewer

Vacant and obscure like a Freudian void on a cold lavatory seat

Hollow as a piper’s flute waiting for nimble charming fingers

Vacant like a comatose stare reflecting mindless nothingness


Shallow as a muddy puddle pummelled by boots from wet feet

Superficial like a scratch on a bubble conceding trivial defeat

Shallow as a trickling tributary succumbed to inarticulate drought

Superficial like a crowded scream never leaving mute fears


Fallow as unwanted seeds swirling around into darkness

Dormant like a sleepy reminder of night mares fighting for victory
Fallow as untilled soil longing for cultivated surrender

Dormant like a tired tramp homeless and halting suspense

Mellow as marsh mallows molten on deep cutting sticks


Bitter sweet like a camp fire sending smoke into nowhere

Mellow only in that as it rhymes with bellow and gallows

Sweet bitter and numb like waste in a lone piper’s dream
