Paper Chains from Paper Chains by Eric Stephen Martin

Shoestrings
And flowers too
While I sing
Down avenues
I contemplate the things I hate
In Nightmares
Walking through gardens
Somewhere
It's quite bizarre that
I can hear the shore from here at all

Tree streets
and tiny houseplants
Mysteries
Inside the floor vents
I could point the finger so
Convince me
The joke’s on you so
Kiss me
Follow the rules or
ask how they pertain to you instead

Surrounded by the sea
There's a row of streets

Pull me
From little boxes
And put me
Inside your wallet
Cut me on the dotted line
So I bind
and I admit it
Cuz I tried
While I was sleeping
To sing to you a patient lullaby

But on the first of May
I pulled the paper chains
