#joydivision

In memory of Ian Curtis, who suffered from both epilepsy and depression, took his life on May 18, 1980, on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, and just before the release of their second album

On this day in 1978 , Joy Division released their debut EP - "An Ideal for Living”

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,

To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,

I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,

In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,

As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,

And with cold steel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,

But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,

I let them use you for their own ends,

To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
