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
