Left Alone (3min15)
By: Shawn D. Petrie Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Verse) I hate the thought of being alone I did’nt want you to go And I told you so
It’s now clear I’m starting to see You shine in the pain you inflict on me
(Chorus) My hearts as empty As these empty halls Which lead To empty rooms Having you here would paint the walls with light Don’t let me be along tonight
(Verse) But you left me here In the bitter cold You made me feel tired alone and old With only my shadow On the wall Sitting by the phone Waiting for your call
(Chorus) I close my eyes And remember you All my fears Are coming true I beg and plead For you to stay But you only seem To pull away
I will pretend to smile now While you twist the knife in my heart You’re a dirty stain on my life And now I want you out of it
(Bridge) I don’t wanna wake up In the morning light Live another day To See your face The hope that I had That you’d come back Was just a dream And now it’s turned to black The curtains close You killed the dream A waste of time Not what you seem The sooner I forget Your wicked lies The sooner I’ll get To dry my eyes
(Outro) Just when I thought I was dead, the thought of love Pushed from my head Something I never, seen before Someone who, could offer more Shining light, through my door Everything I wanted, all and more Perfection in front of me And now blessed is the day That you stepped away

Powder Shell (3min30) By: Shawn Petrie (5-2-2004) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (9-17-2015)
(Intro)
(Verse 1) Knights in shiny, powder shells Gods of light, Fright and power Controlled situation, no way out
(Chorus 1) Every time that I try to talk to you It’s like talking to a fucking statue I see your eyes but you can’t see mine Are you looking right through me As your talking down to me
(Bridge 1) Powder shell, powerful shell Problems annoy but people can’t tell Powder shell, powerful problems People are plastic in a powder shell
(Verse 2) False smiles on, molded faces Gather here in there Special places Selective invitation, no way in
(Chorus 2) Every time that I try to talk to you It’s like talking to a fucking statue I see your eyes but you can’t see mine Are you looking right through me As your talking down to me
(Bridge 2) Powder shell, insignificant shell False identity, and people can tell I’ll strip you of your only protection Take a stand and wipe away your shell
(Verse 3 solo) (Chorus 3 solo) (Bridge 3 sample)
(Verse 4) Fools in what Will now be nothing Forever lost and gone away No more games to play And no more lies

Asbestos (2min54)
By: Shawn Petrie (5-11-2004) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Chorus 1) Your touch is as soft as asbestos Slowly shaping my will to turn away Your love is a rare form of torture Slowly tearing my future away
(Verse 1) Hold me back I’m running too fast Towards a light which burns too bright Towards illusion I created myself Within my mind, artificial perfection
(Chorus 2) This straightforward plain of existence With you has brought me to my knees Everything that we promised each other Has lost itself out in the breeze
(Verse 2) Close the door the sight is too strong The stare too long, my approach all wrong Conversation splinters the silence But never really ever getting anywhere
(Chorus 3) Your touch is as soft as asbestos Slowly shaping my will to turn away Your love is a true form of torture As you twist the life out of my days

The Reasons (3min11)
By: Shawn Petrie (5-11-2000) – (7-4-2004) – (9-21-2015) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2-15)
(Verse) I feel that time is running down Until I must face That there is no room for me here And leave this painful place My hearts broke beyond repair And it’s been long enough My pain should have long since slipped away But I never do get tough
(Chorus) My body is dead weight on my feet I am a walking bomb biding time I try to reach for my slice of the pie But I never can get a hold mine I feel like no matter what I do I will never be as good as you I need one more cruel display To finally put me in my place
(Bridge) I wish I could stop the pain in my heart It’s a constant struggle tearing me apart I’m finding out that love is a lie There are no answers when I wonder why
(Verse) I wish I could stop the tears in my eyes I wish I could kill the pain inside I’m beaten down, too weak to last I’m tired of living my life in the past
I’m holding on but not for long Pretty soon I’ll be gone It’s so uncommon for a man to cry These are the reasons I’m dying inside
