The group recorded two versions of the song “Divine Design.” The first they released as a single in 2016, and this version appeared on their 2018 album Songs for the Living and Otherwise. According to Ross Newell, the song is about being taken advantage of by the person you love. “I feel like a suit of second-hand armor / It can protect you but may never wear a shine / Every time you see me you know I’ll be there when you need me / Never thinking of the dead man left inside.”
