lyrics

Pinched in at the middle
Her small frame smiled out
But lost in suspicion
I failed to grasp it
Her word was an umbrella
It had me on its point
Her stroke was euthanasia
It swept me up in its charity
My helpers came
I didn't recognise them
They gathered about me
I shrugged them all off

Your sides are splitting
As you fall to the floor
I summarise my hatreds
And leave
I cloud over
And feel with the edges of my hands
The beige kernel
The man-made husk
Chafing all around me
It funnels me out
And sorely I’m let
Reeling

As I spit through the mists
I know that you fall away
You’re watching me punish
My body for its own issue
I want you to look
At my back as I walk
I want you to know
The crook of my knees
I don’t want to turn
I don’t want to face you
Because I know if I turn
Then I will turn on you

And this was a haven
And this was a lie
The hangings were yellow
And small in my life
And I don’t like to think this
And I don’t want to say
And I’ll wrap it in something
And I’ll send it away
And it will be received
By a poor, distant fool
Who will wrap it all up
With weak, weak lies

Very good goth industrial that incorporates influences from Mind-era Ministry, Throbbing Gristle, Tear Garden, and Skinny Puppy. Eve McGivern

The Crux & Remixes (double EP)
by This Is Radio Silence

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Mill (live)”

Artistic brilliance from beginning to end. If you can listen to the extended version of The Crux and not be swept away by its majesty, then we have nothing in common. TIRS are no ordinary rock band. Years of making atmospheric soundscapes and dark ambience with catchy guitar solos and bleak, soulful lyrics brought us to this point xx captaindamaged

A Fault In This Machine

Dark bedroom pop uses sounds ranging from the childlike to the industrial to conjure a dark, inward looking atmosphere. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 19, 2020
