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
