Lyrics

Chains

This was more than I had bargained for They stuck gold and beelined for the door Now I'll make me up from head to floor If I don't find me soon, I won't be searching any more 'Cause I am starving for the truth So feed me something real while I've got youth left in my veins I believe I knew it all along But you're the only one who didn't try to tell me I was wrong

So soon, so soon, so soon, I will run Until then I'll sit and let you saw, saw away 'Til my chains are gone

Fool me once and I won't make a sound Fool me twice, there's shame to go around But I fooled myself for my whole life Let me be the first to say, these feet never left the ground And now I'm starving for the truth So feed me something real while I've got youth left in my veins I believe I knew it all along But you're the only one who didn't try to tell me I was wrong

So soon, so soon, so soon, I will run Until then I'll sit and let you saw, saw away 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone Gone 'Til my chains are gone

Don't give up on me just yet Don't give up on me just yet Don't give up on me just yet Don't give up on me just yet

I am starving for the truth So feed me something real while I've got youth left in my veins I believe I knew it all along But you're the only one who didn't try to tell me I was wrong

So soon, so soon, so soon, I will run Until then I'll sit and let you saw, saw away 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone 'Til my chains are gone Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone Go—
