– Unsecured Sacred Shelter – (4min11)

Unsecured Sacred Shelter (4min11)
By: Shawn D. Petrie 4-10-2000
Performed by: August Will Decay

(Intro)
Broken bones, busted souls
Crushed beyond repair
Bloody hands, bleeding hearts
Close the coffin lock it off

(Chorus Intro)
Scratch my eyes out, make me blind
I fear all that I see
Without warning, terror strikes
Evil within this lonely night
Fist of rage, releases anger
What was once to be
Forget the future, block it out
You cannot penetrate me

(Verse 1)
Fire burning on the water
Show the willing what is anger
Steel, cold and conformed to his law
Unrealized dreams, a child screams

(Chorus 1)
Unsecured sacred shelter
Rebuild, then smash again
Unsecured sacred shelter
Life in a cold cup of silence
Pray to a page, the book is bread
No one on, the other end
Unsecured Sacred Shelter
Blinking lights, dead on the inside

(Verse 2)
Creatures crawling on my wall
The blankets do not help
Another loan another forced chore
Organized disillusion and agony

(Chorus 2)
Unsecured sacred shelter
Hell at home, driven hard
Unsecured sacred shelter
The missing link returned, unwanted
Abuse and words worked and formed
The belt tears and burns, but leaves no scars
Unsecured Sacred Shelter
Toss the dialogue into the fire

Time passes out the window
Greet another, defeating day
Close my eyes, this has got to be a dream
I’ve got to make it go away

(Outro)

– Zombie Brain – (4min46)

Zombie Brain (4min46)
By: Shawn Petrie (6-4-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2005)

(Intro)

(Verse)
When will you see past your own smile
Cause the smile you wear is a fake
When will you stop to ask yourself?
How much more can I take
You were like a poison running through my veins
And there was no antidote
I hear a noise in the other room, what’s that sound?
It is only your ghost

(Chorus)
I just can’t stand living with this pain
I’d like to put a bullet in your zombie brain
I just can’t stand living with this regret
It’s time to put this to bed, it’s time to forget

(Bridge) – (Verse)
You’re like the coldest chill in the winter’s air
And when I needed you, you weren’t there
You left me silently once upon a time
And took what was your and all that was mine

(Chorus)
I just can’t stand living with this pain
I’d like to put a bullet in your zombie brain
You walk the earth breaking hearts without refrain
They say to kill the bitch you got to kill the brain

(Solo) – (Breakdown)
When you made me smile, it was a lie
When you promised me, it was a lie
When you wore your ring, it was a lie
So it’s time for me to say goodbye
When you held me tight, it was a lie
When you held my hand, it was a lie
When you took your vow, it was a lie
So it’s time for me to say goodbye

(Outro)
You’ll be forgotten, I’ll be gone
You’ll be forever walking dead
This sadness that’s inside your head
Will torment you until the end
And I cannot stand to see
Your face your face in my dreams
So I choose to not
And never again will you be part of me
You’ll never be, you’ll never get back in
You’re dead to me, you’re dead to me

– A cage Built For Me – (3min24)

A Cage Built For Me (3min24)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (1-7-02) – (4-10-2004)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
Silent rage and insecure feelings, associated with pain
I hate what I cannot be and want what I can never have
I hate what is expected of me when I haven’t enough to give
I feel lost when I look into the darkness of this room

(Chorus)
A cage built for me
A cage built for me
A cage built for me
A cage built for me

(Verse)
I feel dissatisfaction with myself and the things I have accomplished
I feel disappointment with the person I am and will become
I suffer with constant regret of the mistakes I have made and the ones I am making
I hurt at the sight of all this space inside

(Chorus repeat)

(Verse)
I wish it to be dark when the sun is shining bright
I feel alone and tormented by the light of day
I hear emptiness in the words I hear myself speak
And I can’t imagine why I have a single friend in this fucked up world

(Chorus repeat)

(Verse)
I look around in the first light of day and feel pity
I feel everyone around me has to something wrong with them
I think that I am the only one with any common sense
And the only one not knowing enough to ignore it all

(Chorus repeat)

(Verse)
I feel trapped in a place which holds no future for me
I feel trapped inside of my own heart and mind
I know these feelings are too strong for one person to deal with
I know there is definitely something wrong with me

(Guitar solo through
Chorus and verse)

(Verse)
What is it that I want? I used to know for sure
I used to have the outline, I used to have a plan with goals
Now my goals are beyond reach and I have failed

I feel heartless when I face how I truly feel
I feel scared at what this means for me and my future
I am terrified at the thought of spending eternity inside
Rotting inside this cage built for me

Rotting inside this cage built for me

– More reviews for M E L T D O W N –

M E L T D O W N
***** (FIVE STARS)
“Two words: EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER! THis is a winner in my book. The lyrics started off a little confusing in the beginning but later became very clear of the message this song was making.”

***** (FIVE STARS)
“I liked the main riff, but I felt like it was a little overdone. Lyrics were good. It felt 80’s, which is not a knock. I think I liked the guitar the best. Overall, very good.”

– Never Enough – (3min46)

Never Enough (3min46)

By: Shawn D. Petrie
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (10-2-2015)

(verse)

There was a time when I could believe

And I couldn’t see that you were lying to me

Through your teeth with a serpents tongue

You were playing your games you were having your fun

It went on for way too long

Looking down on me you were the one that was strong

You should have put a bullet in my head

Cause with a lover like you I was better off dead

(Bridge)

All my love – It was never enough

All the trust – It was never enough

All the promises – weren’t enough

Nothing was ever – Good enough

(Chorus)

And now I know the awful truth

The pain in me was caused by you

I guess i’ll always wonder why

Your biggest promise was your biggest lie

These dream that I used to hold in my heart

You reached in and tore them all apart

There was a world that I lived inside

I was afraid to live, afraid to cry

You dragged my heart through broken glass

And you showed the world that have no class

You hurt and stuffed my feelings aside

And you laughed at me as you left me to die

(Bridge)

All my love – It was never enough

All the trust – It was never enough

All the promises – weren’t enough

Nothing was ever – Good enough

(Chorus)

And now I know the awful truth

The pain in me was caused by you

I guess ill always wonder why

Your biggest promise was your biggest lie

So I collect up the pieces that you left

And I try and make sense of all this mess

But I’d rather be left for dead

Than have someone constantly fuck with my head

(Chorus)

And now I know the awful truth

The pain in me was caused by you

I guess ill always wonder why

Your biggest promise was your biggest lie

– A U G U S T W I L L D E C A Y (self titled) (CD NOW AVAILABLE) (10-1-2015) –

My first full length cd is now available.

A.W.D – 10-2-2015

“August Will Decay has such a very unique sound. His music style is simplistic yet it carries a powerful force with it that not many artists can produce nowadays. His lyrics are deep and meaningful and not just noise or cliches. His music is an expertly done expression of emotion that is very very dangerously lacking in today’s society. 10/10 would absolutely love to hear more.”
