    This is my favorite song by them. 3 great albums. One of my new favorite bands. I would like to think my future wife loves this song as much as I do.

    A divide
    Calling all the faithless in flight
    What am I?
    I am only dust in this light
    But I would like to find another way to find you here
    You sat in the garden by the road
    Mummified, nullified in the soil
    The feeling weighs a fuck load in the morn
    They must have dropped the call
    "Thank goodness" I wrote
    A disguise
    Wear it till I think that it's real
    I don't know
    You may never know how I feel
    But I would like to find another way to find you here
    But I would like to find another way to find you here
    I stared up the wall and he said
    "'I don't know' is not an answer
    To the question
    To the question"
    In the time
    That it takes to open this wound
    Lay me down
    Tell me it'll be different soon
    But I would like to find another way to find you here
    But I would like to find another way to find you here
    I stared up the wall and he said
    "'I don't know' is not an answer
    To the question
    To the question"

    This is, without a doubt, a stellar debut. This album hits all of the right strides. The influences from New Order, The Cure, Joy Division, etc. is apparent and happily welcomed. It's the perfect driving companion as well. I am in love with this song in particular because of how accessible it sounds, yet the lyrical story it puts together is compelling enough to warrant multiple listens. Hell, my Spotify auto-playlists currently have at least one of their songs peppered within them.
