Kingdom of Mistrust

by Fragile Tom

supported by

Melvin Hawkins thumbnail
Melvin Hawkins This album contains some of the most beautiful sounds I have heard out of electronic music. Fragile Tom's style and sound based on 80's New Wave and Synth Pop goes unmatched in today's music. The latter part of the album has this dark, depressing beauty that recalls "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" by Cutting Crew. In short this album is stunning. Favorite track: Dancing on the Battlements.

Puzzles 03:10
So why do we still return From the burden of life? We have been kept in bound With all the aching muscles With no comfort to be found And no friendly face around We were just hanging out together All buried by the hustle Come on, go find some trouble When the tides were formed to turn In a cradle of lies You were built to burn forever And not to solve the puzzle Then time after time You'd be travelling through hell From that grave you once have risen Only to face the puzzle Come on, go find some trouble Fight the puzzle Fight the puzzle Come on, go find some trouble Learn how to fight the puzzle

We almost tried to say goodbye But off she went And then the tears learned living Was only learning how to die And hardly ever changing sides Teaching the infants how to cry Oh, Avalon Heights And there we go, so heavy Out to a show that's deafening Cause we all know we gotta run forever We hurt each other in the light So off she went When her legs learned moving Was only learning how to die And hardly ever changing sides Deep in the prison of mind Who knows how dark is the night? Oh, how dark is the night? And there we go, so heavy Out to a show that's deafening Cause we all know we gotta run forever And there we go, so heavy Out to a show that's deafening Cause we all know we gotta run forever And there we go, so heavy Out to a show that's deafening Cause we all know we gotta run forever

This Love 02:22
I'm still a stranger to this town One day the ocean spat me out Became the ghost who wants your crown Can I please have your scepter now? I will keep it safe and sound When will I learn to free myself from this love? We have been hiding underground Until the ocean spat us out Forever waiting to be found So can I have your scepter now? I will keep it safe and sound When will I learn to free myself from this love? When will I learn to free myself from this love? When will I learn to be myself and forget about you? Will I ever learn to be myself and forget about you somehow?

I've got my sins and you've got yours But we can come together and join the shutlle Let's make it double A cherry pie cream double We shall be diverse Yes, we can reach the bubble It's craftsmanship and brings only trouble To the shuttle A cherry pie cream double Cause it's better, it's better It's better to believe It's better, it's better Way better to join the shuttle Oh, what a shuttle! Such a large space shuttle A cherry pie cream double Cause it's better, it's better It's better to believe It's better, it's better Way better to join the shuttle Oh, what a shuttle! Yes, we can reach the bubble A cherry pie cream double Yes, we can catch the shuttle A cherry pie cream double

Hello, are you still waiting for me? The war has come, the curtains fall Give all your heart to the ones you're lovin And lose your soul if the empire calls Hello, hello - I'll never let you go In the outland, I am dreaming of home Deep in the bunkers Buried by the mainland they hear a voice And still they're screaming at their gods Still they are stumbling in the field Hello, hello – I'll never let you go Hello, hello – They gonna let you know It's shithole Yeah, it's a pile of shit I'm in a shithole It's all in the grit Hello, hello – I'll never let you go Hello, hello – They gonna let you know

Black Coats 03:06
I was walking under red skies When everyone got tired I begged for a single clue But you were sleeping tight So still I miss you They will mistreat you No one shall love you Like I do I'll follow black coats hunting the lies They gonna take you by surprise I'll follow black coats hunting the lies I was floating under red skies Out of a dark night Out of a sick life We had to make a sacrifice So still I miss you They'll only hurt you No one shall love you Like I do I'll follow black coats hunting the lies They gonna take you by surprise I'll follow black coats hunting the lies I'll follow black coats hunting the lies They gonna take you by surprise I'll follow black coats hunting the lies

When I was boy, just a boy I didn't know what was real You were my bride, so devine And you did know how to feel Damn, we're lost In the kingdom of mistrust Slowly turning to dust In the kingdom of mistrust I had my toys, plastic toys I didn't know what was real You had a voice, had a choice And you did know how to feel Damn, we're lost In the kingdom of mistrust Slowly turning to dust In the kingdom of mistrust We got annoyed, so annoyed With everything that is real Building our home in the void Once you did know how to feel And damn, we're lost In the kingdom of mistrust Yes, die we must In the kingdom of mistrust Yes, die we must

Interlude 01:31

In your arms the brave must shiver And give in to the storm The ghastly gift shall be delivered To those who can't be warned Your lipstick trace sleeps on my pillow Your tricks can't be undone The ghastly gift shall be delivered To those who can't be warned I need some poison and oh I need your loving Just give me some poison and show me how to dance Fearlessly on the battlements The wind is rushing through the willows The crows don't stand a chance A ghastly gift shall be delivered To those who cannot dance I need some poison and oh I need your loving Just give me some poison and show me how to dance Fearlessly on the battlements Oh, I need your loving Just give me some poison and show me how to dance Fearlessly on the battlements Fearlessly on the battlements On the battlements

Bad News 03:33
Form another bold world, my dysfunctional tongue Oh come on, run into your own trap! It has got to be done You know it has to be done I saw you walking down a thin line You dared to rule out the sun Bad news for the primetime Where did it go wrong and what the hell have we done? All the silhouettes are falling apart And here it comes: the cold age of science We must have had the greatest of times Tell me what the hell have we done? Tell me what the hell have we done?
11.
The Passage 03:35
Darling, what have you done? We are sailing nowhere With no choice but to run To fight the weather I try to lay my arms around you I try to bring your bones to bed For the very last time, for the very last time Don't get fooled by your heart It's still a warm november They are tearing us apart Until you won't remember me I try to lay my arms around you I try to bring your bones to bed For the very last time, for the very last time I try to lay my arms around you I try to bring your bones to bed For the very last time, for the very last time

Hideout 02:49
This place looks quite familar But they don't have the time To settle down in your wastelands If there's no one else around But you need someone who pulls you through the nights And you need someone who brings you home alive Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive The giants were born to shimmer Their heads rest in the skies While you're running out of water You are running out of time And you need someone who pulls you through the nights And you need someone who brings you home alive Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive

Break the spell! You know you've got to teach her well She escaped from a foreign school Fled into your room There's a monitoring moon tonight Life is hell If people ain't what they tell And everytime you hear them talk Get safe, go out for a walk There's a monitoring moon tonight Allow yourself a finishing move Allow yourself a finishing move Break the spell! You know you've got to treat her well She was raised in a foreign school Get rid of your gloom There's a monitoring moon tonight There's a monitoring moon tonight There's a monitoring moon tonight There's a monitoring moon tonight.
