Charioteer

[Intro]

They said when I was twenty five, I would expire

Burst into flames atop the pyre

Instead, I stand there in Bombay Beneath the arches

You say "I hope you're doing good"

I know that you got this

As I take the stage

[Verse 1]

You know how I hate

To have to address my steps

Howling at the moon

Pouncing on your confidence

[Chorus]

Are you the horse?

Are you the carriage?

Are you the wheel?

Are you the baggage?

Are you the armrest, my dear?

You are my charioteer

You are my charioteer

[Verse 2]

When you met me

I was really going through it

If you let me

I would like to explain my predicament

The best that I can, given the state I'm in

Memories waterlog my mind

When you looked at me

For the very first time it was a remedy

From what must be a past life

[Chorus]

Are you the yoke?

Are you the axle?

Are you the pole?

Are you the saddle?

Are you the harness, my dear?

You are my charioteer

You are my charioteer

[Verse 3]

Last night I had the most unnerving dream

I run toward the sunset but a rock confronts my feet

I trip hard and by the time I get up, it's dark

I tiptoe in the opposite direction

In the corner of my eye, I see a reflection

When I turn and face the music, it's immaculate conception

And a melody plays, but who is the musician?

[Chorus]

Are you the horse?

Are you the carriage?

Are you the wheel?

Are you the baggage?

Are you the armrest, my dear?

Are you the yoke?

Are you the axle?

Are you the pole?

Are you the saddle?

Are you the harness, my dear?

You are my charioteer

You are my charioteer

You are my charioteer
