Kowtow - Tilt

Explain away the obvious in a single breath

Your eyes betray your countenance they’re signaling distress

Your wagging speech is withering and clothed beyond reproach

Shaming and ambiguous the fabric of your coat

Initial observation yields a striking silhouette

A close examination shows the cut of avarice

Flimsy and inaccurate the coarseness of the weave

A blanket condemnation draped upon a heartless sleeve

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don’t know your etiquette

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I’m desperate

I won’t kowtow to you

Your estate is brazen you are held within your will

The home that you have chosen owns a stultifying chill

Foundation is eroding and the ground is undermined

For all your underpinning you keep slipping down the side

Amazing cast of characters like busy little bees

They come to prop you back up but they know you’re hard to please

How it must consume you all you must ingest

To generate the fuel to maintain your edifice

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don’t know your etiquette

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I’m desperate

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don’t know your etiquette

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I’m desperate

I won’t kowtow

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don’t know your etiquette

I won’t kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I’m desperate

I won’t kowtow to you
