Ni Zai, Bu Zai

Clouds drift like a dream
Waiting for your embrace
But I’m stuck in your
Unreachable heights
Starlight like raindrops
Whispers of four years
Turn into black smoke

A hundred days of heat waves
A cold stream just won’t break
In the love that lingers
It’s a butterfly’s trap

You’re in the room
Like a phantom light
You’re in my eyes, a slow burn
You’re on my phone
You’re in my mind
I can’t escape

You’re in the depths
Like black coffee
You’re in my heart
Like a pillow
But you’re just not
By my side

Caught a cold all month
My heart’s in a mess
Can’t shake off the cloudy haze
Can’t stop the pain
I don’t love the change
But it’s all so blurry
Deciding everything

A hundred days of heat waves
A cold stream just won’t break
In the love that lingers
It’s a butterfly’s trap

The wild hair’s a mess
The window’s a blur
Can’t shake off your
Lingering scent
Holding onto a
Little dog’s bark
It’s a strong grip
A heavy burden
She asked me
Why the chaos hides the tears

You’re in the room
Like a phantom light
You’re in my eyes, a slow burn
You’re on my phone
You’re in my mind
I can’t escape
