Lyrics
Chains
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a city that has no walls
Here's a man with no self control
(He's got a gun)
He's got his hands on the gun that's all
Bullet big enough to bury the world
Thank God I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
Really really though
I really am afraid to die
Gave me a good scare
It was enough to keep me inside
Going live to the scene
What a shame it wasn't me
What a shame I only see
Blind leading the blind leading the blind
It's seeing with your eyes
It's seeing with your eyes that makes you stumble
I feel for you, I feel
It's seeing with your eyes that makes you stumble
I'm in this too, I'm in this
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter what chains you choose
It doesn't matter
Just so long as it's chains you choose
Cleverly left up to you
Do you believe in freedom too?
The American dream is a green grave plot
The only thing left to do
I feel for you, I feel
It's seeing with your eyes that makes you stumble
I'm in this too, I'm in this
All my friends have confidence
It's common sense to rely on sight
It's not right, it's not right
When climbing this is foot to head
Instead let's lay the ladder down
Settle the matter now
Settle the matter
Love is the end, love is the means
Now there's a level plane
Why are you thinking only gain?
