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 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.
