Charcoal cloak by Ella Martine Lyrics

[ Verse 1 ]
He hides away
In dark hallways
No trace of charcoal cloaks

It’s on his face
His plain dismay
A man whose hearts been broke

[ Pre-Chorus 1 ]
But beneath the darkness
He hides the carcass
Of traumatic memories

A love too strong
To move on from
That he kept unreleased

[ Chorus ]
A field of lilies in the countryside
Touching hands in late July
She’s the one who made him feel alive
But she went without a last goodbye
As she passed he wept by her side
He hoped to hear her laugh one last time
Instead her child let out a cry
A boy who had his mother's eyes
[ Verse 2 ]
An ink-black mark
On his forearm
Tucked under his sleeve

Sly remarks
For the dark arts
He failed to achieve

[Pre-Chorus 2 ]
And beneath the pressure
To be better
Than the pain he had been dealt

He knew he’d never
Get to tell her
Everything he felt

[ Chorus ]
A field of lilies in the countryside
Touching hands in late July
She’s the one who made him feel alive
But she went without a last goodbye
As she passed he wept by her side
He hoped to hear her laugh one last time
Instead her child let out a cry
A boy who had his mother's eyes
