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…

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)
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)
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)
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

– That Day – (4min35)
That Day (4min35)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (2-17-2005) – (9-21-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)
Half a mile away
From what I thought was real
Old enough to know
To immature to feel
What I thought I lost
I found I never had
Thinking back its clear
Why I was so sad
Living there with you
Was far too hard to do
Left back in the dust
Underneath the crust
When I found you there
Twisted up in pain
Broken by his wicked hand
Trying to explain
You covered up the welts
The red marks and the bruise
You tolerated more and more
And more and more you’d loose
The darkness made you crazy
The icy lack of love
Every day you would sustain
Two kicks and a shove
How could you do that to yourself?
How could you let him run your life?
It all went on for far too long
But then again you had no choice
He had a hold over your mind
Your world was dark and very small
Afraid of what’s outside the door
Pacing your life out on the floor
I was very small
Nothing I could do
Hard as I could try
Nothing I could do
He was far too strong
I was far too weak
In that house alone
I was far too weak
I thought that I could make it stop
But then he turned around on me
He put an end to what I had
And what I thought that life should be
It was then a turning point
I wanted him to die
I wanted him to feel the pain
I wanted him to cry
It was then that I found out
That he would never feel
Nothing going on inside
His love was never real
A lesson learned so very young
I grew to hate the man that day
The few attempts he made before
Meant nothing now it was a war
I was his one and only son
And you the only one he loved
I guessed you just got in the way
And I just had too much to say
He was far too gone
Lost it all that day
Spent it all to gain
Lost it all that day
Nothing made him stop
He would never stop
Had to get away
He would never stop
Thank full for today
Finally got away
Never looking back
I will never lack
What I lost that day
I never really had
I’m ashamed to say
You used to be my dad

– Shovel It In – (3min33)
Shovel It In (3min33)
By: Shawn D. Petrie
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Verse)
I was just sitting, thinking
what is this pain your bringing
you say that you are there for me
but you are never beside me
(Chorus)
and as i shovel all the shit
you just stand by all of it
as i shovel all your shit
you just give me more of it
(Verse)
you can try to destroy me
but you’ll never defeat me
i’ll last forever inside you
just like a fire that burns you
(Chorus)
and as i take, more abuse
i cant see, any use
why i continue, on with you
this crushing force will be the death of you
(Verse)
i will refuse to conform to
all of the dust that you live through
i will never be like you
and i will never forgive you
(solo)
and as i shovel all the shit
you just stand by all of it
as i shovel all your shit
you keep giving me more of it
(Bridge)
what i ever do to you
pain 10 fold to you
soon you’ll finally see
you are half of me
you are someone that
i just cant look at
i could never be like you
pain 10 fold to you
