about

Charcoal is a tale of disenchantment, a story about being on the other side of a broken fairytale and coming to terms with it.
Remembering the good that was inevitably followed by the bad... A universal tale of sorts.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Last night I dreamt you were by my side
Smiling again, heart opened wide
The sweetness of the song of the morning bird
Flashback to when we were on top of the world

Walked down the stairs, blinded by the Sun
Coffee and toast waiting in the kitchen
I found you there, staring at your phone
Picture-perfect like I’d never been gone

Wrapping myself all around you
A sudden thrill passes me through
What is it that makes me feel that something is off
I’m not in my place, I want out the door

I will meet you where you are
Easy when nowhere is never that far

I will get on with my life
Will let you sit there alone in the dark

I will burn that bridge again
Even a thousand times if it is what it takes
(If that is what it takes, if that is what it takes)

It’s coming back to me now, that yesterday’s fight
You misleading me when I knew I was right
You vanished in the night, left me here with no clue
A familiar taste that let me know that we’re through

Eyes on the prize, my blinders on
Swallowing lies from dusk to dawn
It felt so good, it felt so rough
To believe in your love but it wasn’t enough

x3
Don't come back
Don't come back
Don't come back
Don't

Last night I dreamt you were by my side
Smiling again, heart opened wide
Now I know what makes me feel that something is off
I believed in your love but it wasn’t enough

I will meet you where you are
Easy when nowhere is never that far

I will get on with my life
Will let you sit there alone in the dark

I will burn that bridge again
Even a thousand times if it is what it takes
(If that is what it takes, if that is what it takes)

And in five years from now…

When you come crawling back again…

Don’t, just don’t…
