Chains - Chicago

I don’t want any trouble

I don’t want to make any waves

I don’t want any conscience

And I don’t wanna be brave

I’ve kept my distance

My feelings have never been shown

I know that I’ve been walking fences

Denied what I have known

I carry chains (I carry chains)

Heavy, heavy chains (Chains that I made)

I carry chains (I carry chains) around my feet

I feel the weight (I feel the weight)

Chains are the different things

That should not be hanging on me

I put my conscience under a stone

The stone under the ground

Walked from where I had left it

I hoped it couldn’t be found

My conscience persisted

It’s a haunted seed I have sown

Calls me out from the distance

And it just won’t leave me alone

I carry chains (I carry chains)

Chains that are made (Chains that I made)

I carry heavy chains (I carry chains)

Talk about the weight (I feel the weight)

Chains are the temporary things

That should not be hanging on me

I carry chains

Chains that I made

I carry chains

I feel the weight
