Lyric
Imagine Me Gone
The flower blooms
The bow ties
Two seconds of a minute melt
That eyeliner leaves eyes desperate
To follow, with fever
Freezer store to candy aisle
The black beard that learnt to stroke itself
You’re a ghost and I’m a ghost
Play the game imagine we’re gone
Walk through walls in thin white sheets
I’m a ghost imagining we’re gone
And you can’t fix it
The flowers fade
Time erased
The lashes bat, uncombed
You remember it was autumn, autumnal
The meeting under floorboards
In the darkness of consent
Where we dared to speak our own names
I’m a ghost and you’re a clown
Play the game imagine we’re gone
Walk through walls in thin white sheets
I’m a ghost imagining me gone
And you can’t fix it. And it’s now.
Dust sheets, mice sleep
You resist, I said lie still
When there’s no one there
You’re to lie still
This clown face
This bow tie
Sympathy bordered black
The beard that now can’t stroke itself

Heard this on Gid's 6Music show a few days ago - love it. Ironically, I thought I recognised the voice and could hear a hint of something like Interpol without realising it was Patrick from KoD!

Absolutely brilliant to hear your great voice on such a new powerful song. Tell me you’ve planned to tour in 2025?

Lovely job on the song (Patrick) and video (Alexandra Burton-Jones).

Listening to this track for the first time as the snow falls around me. The beauty and sorrow of everything is intensely powerful. On the verge of happy and sad tears. Just wonderful, Patrick. ❤
