Kiri T – I’m Not Here

Kiri T – I’m Not Here


Grew up in Hong Kong, Kiri moved to the States and studied in Berklee College of Music in pursuit of her music. A vocalist, pianist, songwriter and producer, she weaves together lush and shimmery synth sounds with her smooth and sultry vocals. Kiri’s writing is a combination of contemporary R&B, indie pop and electronic music, crafted with mesmerising melodies diving in moody beats.
Late 2015 saw Kiri’s collaboration with NY based producer LUCIAN on “Twenty-something(Lucian Remix)” ,ranked #2 on Hype Machine, collecting over 3M streams across various platforms.

Kiri strings her emotions into words, spills her stories on melodies. Built a house for her inner demons with sounds, and you are all invited. Roll with her on a journey weaving in and out of self destruction, pain and a hint of sweetness.

You could turn the blinds slam the door shut
it doesn’t stop the blood from dripping on the floor
You could run the tap watch the bubbles glisten
it doesn’t wash the stain off your Brooks Brother

So burn the sweet lucy in the air
flicker all the scarlet lights to green
Run your fingers down my pretty hair
doesn’t mean you didn’t cause my painful twisted dreams

Slipped through the cracks
caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe I’m chilling high by the bleachers

Don’t be surprised
Oh boy kiss me goodbye
Oh babe, please tell me how the pain hurts

Oh why would you care I’m not here
But now that you’re here I’m not here

Slipped through the cracks
caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe I’m chilling high by the bleachers

Cover your ears and close your eyes
Doesn’t mend the holes you punched through the walls
Don’t you cry about it don’t complain about it
You reap the seeds you sow hey I told you so

So burn the sweet lucy in the air
flicker all the scarlet lights to green
Run your fingers down my pretty hair
doesn’t mean you didn’t cause my painful twisted dreams

Now Cuz I’m not here
You need me
Now cuz I’m not near
You appear
You broke down in tears
Oh My dear
But Now I’m indifferent
