4. “Harness of Ease”

a pale sky’s hue from miles of this rope

finds my wheels cracked at every spoke

and tied to troubles of faults i can’t escape

is the quiet obsession of secrets i hide away

they hold me close

they keep me bound

storms of regret

could not forget

the chains that bind me

ohh

the harness of ease has got me in its spell

i no longer notice, feel it, or tell

tragic intentions led me to believe

that the pages of virtue don’t apply to me

i hold it all in

this sad feeling

broken as i wait

even if he’s late

oh even though i’m late

ohh

i just want to be saved by a king

i hear him coming, coming after me

the pale rider rose through ashes and debris

i hear him coming to set the righteous free

i’m used to the harness

i made to hold it all together
