– Break Me – (3min20)

Break Me (3min20)
By: Shawn Petrie (1993) – (9-19-2004) – (9-21-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
An outspoken reason to leave, disobey
(I saw this coming)
The law of the land, forever to stay
(From a mile away)
Here for a second, gone for a lifetime
(nothing good ever lasts)
A spiral to my downfall, I am broken
(I am broken)

(Chorus)
I can’t dwell in the past, I won’t be broken
I must be moving on, as I have spoken
I need someone new, although I’ve forgotten
I need someone new to replace what’s rotten

(Verse)
It will never be the same, the life I once had
(Why would I want it to be?)
How can I forget, the way we both bled
(And how I’m left for dead)

(Chorus)
I care for you not, the fires are cold
My soul won’t remember, the memory’s dead
It is time for new love, to open the door
A girl with everything I have been waiting for
In need of a kind heart, and understanding
Someone who’ll love me when the sky has darkened
Someone who’ll smile at me with pure intentions
Someone who will not try to devastate me

(Solo)

I need someone to heal, to love and to hold
I need someone real, come in from the cold
I say this to you on my words I am choking
I need someone new to heal all the broken

– Blood On Roses – (3min03)

Blood On Roses (3min03)
By: Shawn Petrie (9-6-2004) – (9-26-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
Life lacks simplicity
Too many problems rot your mind
In one hand love in the other death
Somewhere in between there’s life
Can you tell me why it happens?
When clouds and mist black out reality
Nothing is real
What do you expect but fear?

(Chorus)
If something is nice
That something will die
If you could only understand
How hard I tried
If something is nice
That something will die
Can you supply to me
The tools to then destroy

(Verse)
I tried to connect with you
But I was left behind
With blood drops on my roses
And wasted thoughts in my mind
When this is over
And you come back to me
Will love conquer all?
Or will I then resist

(Verse)
You cannot understand
What you have done to me
And no one knows just
What will become of me?

My future holds untold stories
More pain waiting to surface
Will I follow in the footsteps?
Of this recently failed society
What lies in your mind?
Can put an end to my faith
I must throw my emotions
Into life frozen lake

Life lacks simplicity

– You Broke It Off – (3min51)

You Broke It Off (3min51)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-15-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2005)

(Intro)
What am I supposed to do
You lie and cheat and wont be true
How am I supposed to feel
It’s like I was your final meal
And now I have nothing to say
And you just throw your whole life away
I was just a plaything in this
This game of torture

(Verse)
Half a man is how you make me feel
Loosing touch
You are no longer satisfied
You have such a twisted mind
No soul inside and you never cried
Blank stares rolling onto me
Always threatening to leave
All planned from the day we met
you’ve left me cold
and now I can’t forget

(Chorus)
You broke it off
Like a twig on a tree
You broke it off
Then you laughed at me
You broke it off
With a smile on your face
You broke it off
And left me in this place

(Verse)
These dreams that you let die
As you escaped with little reason why
You had clearly lost your mind
When you grew evil ceasing to be kind
All this was just a fucking waste
And now I left with a bitter taste
Your spoiled fruit dying on the vine
And you will cower with the rest of your kind

(Chorus)
You broke it off
Now you’re where you belong
You broke it off
To prove that your strong
You broke it off like a childish girl
And you’ll forever be a tainted pearl

(Out – Repeat Intro)

– In Solitary – (3min56)

In Solitary (3min56)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (4-20-2004)
Performed By: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse 1)
Crushing black comes down onto me
Suffocating the love from my heart
Heading into uncharted territory
I am learning new ways to feel pain

(Chorus 1)
Can’t remember when I finally fell
Standing on the edge of unconsciousness
Spots of light litter my eye lids
As I awaken to the cold gray day

(Verse 2)
I’m broken, incomplete and abandoned
I cry out from the shadows of my room
A sadness grows that fills my heart
A feeling that I’ll be alone forever

Chorus 2
Push the hurt into myself
My hands are shaking as I hold back tears
A constant battle with the pain inside
Everything I fear is just downstairs

(Verse 3)
(Solo)

(Chorus 3)
The floor boards bow and creek
As I tip toe through the cold
Pacing forward ‘till I reach the wall
How I wish I could just break through

(Verse 4)
Realizing now, this is my fate
I am meant to be locked in this place
Too small and weak, to reach out
Forever struggling to escape

– Taking You Out – (3min43)

Taking You Out (3min43)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-11-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Vocalize Intro)

(Verse)
Cross my path, you will see
That there is nothing stopping me
Try your best to put me down
You’ll only end up on the ground

Raise a fist, take a swing
Try to control everything
Looking down the bridge of your nose
I’m not the one you will dispose

(Chorus x2)
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Dog eat dog I’m
Taking you out
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Watch your neck
When your sticking it out

(Verse)
Get back to the end of the line
Let me point you towards the sign
Lift your head so you can see
There is nothing stopping me

Raise your voice, puff up your chest
You seem to think, that you’re the best
But you are simply just a man
The same as me so here’s the plan

(Chorus x2)
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Dog eat dog I’m
Taking you out
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Watch your neck
When your sticking it out

(Bridge)
Oh revenge
You will be mine
I will, right this wrong
All in due time

(Verse)
Cross my path you will see
That there is nothing stopping me
You only make me want to fight
To try and make the wrong things right

Raise the bar, take a shot
You seem to want to fight a lot
I just don’t understand at all
You want to make me feel so small

(Chorus x2)
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Dog eat dog I’m
Taking you out
You put me out
I’m taking you out
Watch your neck
When your sticking it out

(Vocal harmony outro)

– Another New Soldier – (3min27)

Another New Soldier (3min27)
By: Shawn Petrie (6-14-2004) – (9-15-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse 1)
Another new soldier
Battling forces in my heart
Eyes locked together
In each other’s arms through the night

(Chorus 1)
Hearts collide, feelings deprived
Reflecting on each other’s past
Will it be different this time?
Will it be different this time?

(Verse 2)
Another new soldier
Guns drawn, defenses on alert
Fists in the air clenched in fear
Anticipate a time when all is revealed

(Chorus 2)
Trust takes years to build
The battle lines are drawn
What can I do to make you believe
That I have always been here for you
Promises are meant to be kept
Not just something you say
Changing season, trying to find a reason
Not to pack up your weapons and, run away

(Solo)

(Verse 3)
Another new soldier
With a shield, safely guarding their heart
Why can’t I keep you near?
Why are you the one that I fear?

(Chorus 3)
Close the gates the army retreats
Just like before, there is a forfeit
Will I sell myself out this time?
Will I sell myself short?

Fighting to subdue these feelings
But always on the look out
Keeping my eyes peeled
For another new soldier
For another new soldier

– A Fathers Wish – (3min15)

A Fathers Wish (3min15)
By: Shawn Petrie (11/9/00)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
As a father lye dying
Alone and in his bed
He remembers back to a time
When awful things were said

Scared and broken hearted
Looking back on the past
Trying to find the day he let go
And lost control of the mast

(Chorus)
A feeling he is not so used to
Is creeping back up inside
Today he felt a burning regret
And it hurt enough to make him cry

(Verse)
His family has gone away
There nowhere to be found
Because he had just left them
Like garbage on the ground

He has no more friends
No one left who seems to care
He looks into the shadows
But there isn’t anybody there

(Chorus)
Back so many years ago
Would have been the time
To try to heal old memories
But he was locked inside his mind

(Verse)
And as he lay there dying
He worries about his soul
How could god except a man
Who has been so mean and cold?

A few short breaths away
From the one which will be his last
And with his last few moments
He continues to dig in the past

(Chorus)
Children playing in a time of light
Before the storm of rage
Before the lies and before the pain
Inflicted on the ones in his cage

(Verse)
A raised hand to end it all
A forced perspective on life
A need ignored and misled
Left frozen out in the night

He now can see the reasons
He is dying alone and old
It’s due to the fact that to his own blood
He was so cruel and cold

(Chorus)
He closes his eyes to the world
And gives up on the worry
God knows he is just a man
Who made mistakes, and now he’s sorry

(Chorus)
A cold silence fills the air
He thinks about the moments he missed
To say good bye to his only son
Is his final wish

(Bridge)
He stares up at the ceiling
One last tear falls on the bed
And with a final shutter
The memory fades and he is dead
(Solo-out)

– You Come To Me – (3min52)

You Come To Me (3min52)
By Shawn Petrie
Performed By August Will Decay
(11-26-2004) – (10-6-2015)

what am i supposed to do
when nothing ever pleases you

how am i supposed to feel
when what i need i have to steal

and now i have nothing in you
and you have no commitment to me

i am just a board piece
in this game of profit

half a man is how you make me feel
loosing touch you are no longer satisfied
you have such a one track mind
which couldn’t be any further from mine

blank stare as you check for leaks
tight grip so i cannot leave
all planned for an unfair game
lowest man in the food chain

you come to me
this is where i belong
you come to me
to tell me i am wrong
you come to me
just to see where were at
you come to me to keep the pigs purse fat

quick walk through then your gone
into your dungeon where the plans are made
from day to day i can never tell
who ill agree with or want to kill
today you put me down
made me feel like a weakened child
i wonder why i continue here
with everything that you don’t hold dear

you come to me
when you want what you want
you come to me
to change what you don’t
you come to me
just to see where were at
you come to me to keep the pigs purse fat

– The Blue Ones – (3min33)

The Blue Ones (3min33)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (2-4-2005) – (9-18-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
Anger desguises fear
Cover it all with hate
The sky is getting dark
The time is getting late
So give me all you got
I’m ready for a war
Something I wont forget
I’ve never seen before

(Chorus)
Here in this room
The shades of grey
Have seemed to run
My life away

(Verse)
I walk into the night
I’m twisted by a dream
Nothing will ever be
Able to get to me
One look into my eyes
And you will see just how
I’ll make it through today
I’m going all the way

I do it one more time
But will i make it home
To get what i now need
The hunger that i feed
I’ll sit alone and stare
I measure up the fight
Untill i let you in
No way that i can win

(Chorus 2)
The pills I take
Will now conceal
I’ll only have
Numbness to feel

(Solo)

(Bridge)
Makes me want to cry
Makes me want to die
Makes me want to smile
At the same time
Feel like I can fly
Emptiness inside
It’s not hard to try
For the last time

Something hurts but I can’t
Figure out just why
In the blink of an eye
I’m just fine
Silly now as it seems
I go back to my dream
While im wide awake
At the same time

I make another trip
To fill up what I need
Again iI will go back
To get me what I lack
You ask me how I feel
Right now I cannot tell
But if I had to say
The blue ones do work well

Anger disguises fear
Cover it all with hate
The sky is getting dark
The time is getting late
So give me all you got
I’m ready for a war
I want to never feel
The way i felt before

– Game Of Murder – (3min32)

Game Of Murder (3min32)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-27-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records

Take away all the lies
Take away all the tears
Chip away at my heart
Finish off what you started

You can drive the final spear into my heart
You can pull the final hair from my head
You can twist the final breath from my chest
There’s nothing stopping you from ending this

The game that you played
To murder all we had
And now I am left alone
I should have known

Take away all the hurt
Take away all the fear
Take my connections away
And leave me standing here

You can make the final choice for us both
You can sign away the deed to my life
You can have all the power that you need
There nothing stopping you from ending me

The game that you played
To murder all we had
And now I am left alone
I should have known

Take away all we have
Take away what is mine
Take everything else away
And leave me broken here today

You can have what you rightfully own
you’ve owned me since the day we met
So do with me what you will
because you chose to murder it

You murdered it
