Chains by 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 are made.)
I carry chains (i carry chains) 'round 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 are 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.
