Songtexte Chains - Ian Thomas

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
