A path of destruction
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-7-2006)

In the deepest darkest depths of my mind
I am waiting for you
Pull me upwards, towards the light
Show me that i can love again

With your touch you bring me back
Everthing is new
It’s like i have been born again
And soon i’ll fall for you

But this time i;m aware
That this may not last forever
Thats something i will just ignore
Or it will set us on a path of destruction

– Beautiful Loser – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-22-2000)

Beautiful Loser
By: Shawn Petrie (10-22-2000)

Hold me back I’m running too fast
Towards a light which burns too bright
Towards an illusion I created myself
Within my mind, artificial perfection

Close the door the sight is too strong
The stare too long my approach all wrong
Conversation splinters the silence
Eye contact is stronger than we can admit

Advice ignored, share this warmth with me
Show me signs that I can read, recognize this need
Show me the proper path so I wont get lost
Realize and except that I know what I want

Held over my head, this strange power
Engraved in us all especially the small
And some go too far, I have been an example
I have proven the fear, I have done that before

Left alone in the crowded room
Im lonely tonight, elevated to a new height
Pick up an old wooden box, I try to compensate
Lye my head down and wait for a new day

Broken glass and shattered dreams
Not the first time, imperfect mind
Things just aren’t the same
There never was a path to follow

Showcase my emotions, cannot hide
I try to disguise, I try to lie
Nature holds the keys to who I am
With an enemy like that I can never get ahead

Wait a little longer, anticipate a time
Opportunity will come but nothing will be done
Look through me into another,
Have you found what you want?
Don’t worry about me ill be fine

Keep my eyes open, someone like me
Not someone perfect
But someone impure and also unsure
Of who they could be, just what they need
Personality flawed, socially subdued
2 beautiful losers find each other and conform

– Battle Heart – By: Shawn D. Petrie (3-22-01)

Battle Heart
By: Shawn Petrie (3-22-01)

Despair in the eyes of the angel
Hello, I am the one you need
To show, to lead, to push you forward
I am the one to slow the bleed

Fear in the heart of the enemy
Goodbye, you cry as you go
You run, you hide, you close the door
Never again are you willing to show

Pain in the souls of the children
Standing back, walls collide
The structure we built has began to wilt
And the arms are no longer open wide

Death on the lips of the world
The end, from the day it began
The planets in pain, this life is a game
Do we all do the best that we can?

I hear the cries as the war is lost
The souls torn apart and forgotten
I live this life from day to day
But my will to survive is now rotten

The expression on my face is lost
As I can no longer pay the cost
I know the rules, but who’s the boss
Into the fire my body I’ll toss

– Alone Another Night – By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-5-1999)

Alone another night
By: Shawn Petrie (5-5-1999)

I can’t stand the thought of coming home to this empty house
And I know you have plans to go out tonight
But I don’t want you to go so I put up this fight
Because baby I don’t want to be alone tonight

My heart is 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 alone tonight

I don’t want to lay my head down on that empty bed
With only your memory to make everything all right
And your not being here is proof I’m holding on too tight
But baby I don’t want to be alone tonight

I close my eyes, remember you and my heart hits the floor
I hate the way you left me here, but still the shining light
I beg and plead with you to stay and make things right
So for the first and last time, don’t let me be alone tonight

I don’t want to wake up, in the morning light alone
Go one more day, without seeing your face or holding you tight
The hope I have that you’ll come back, is stronger than the sun is bright
I just wish with all of my heart that you had stayed last night

– Denial: The Longest Winter – (Fan Reviews) (10-29-2015)

Denial: The Longest Winter (Fan Reviews)
From the upcoming album Hypnotized By Disguise

***** (FIVE STARS)
“THE RHYTHM IS SUPERB AND IT BLENDS PERFECTLY WITH THE SINGING, I COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.”
Comment Written 28-Oct-2015 by Frankie(n)

**** (FOUR STARS)
“I feel that this tune really has a lot of potential, it just needs to be put together the right way. A nice bass line will absolutely make a big difference to the whole project. A little re-verb on the drums as well, and maybe a voice that sings the second voice and not a dubbed one? The sound on this recording is nice and clear, and I wish you the very best on completing your album 🙂 Cheers.”

**** (FOUR STARS)
“Well that’s ironic, nice album concept. Good luck with the new album mate. The direction seems to be positive. Not much to critique since it’s not done yet. But the lyrics are straight and the string play is nice. The hand drum effect is creative and a nice fresh touch. Cheers”

“Interesting song concept. I am curious to see where you go with it. I like the intro with guitars and voice. The chord progression sounds good and the music seems well recorded.”

“As usual you have made a really great sounding song production vocal guitar drums bass all spot on and great moving lyrics and great story line. You get 6 stars from me all the way look forward to more.”

– A Fan Review – (10-28-2015)

“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.”

– The Darkest Winter DEMO – (With Reviews)10-24-2015

The Darkest Winter DEMO from my upcoming album
Hypnotized By Disguise

I have begun working on my new album. Here is a preview of the first song from that album. (It’s not done yet, it still needs a few final touches but I wanted to share what I have so far.)

The new album is a concept album based on the stages of grief. This album will be my greatest effort to date. I am putting the most effort into every aspect of every song than I ever have before. It is a very meaningful project to me. The reviews that I am getting so far is that this is my best song to date. I will be working on the album over the winter and I hope to have it completed by the spring / summer of 2016. With lots of inspiration to draw from that should not be too difficult. Thank you for listening and please like, comment, and share.

– The Enormous Fee – By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-25-2000)

The Enormous Fee
By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-25-2000)

Once upon a time
I knew this pretty girl
Who became my distinction
Between day and night
Reworked and formed my world

I fully believed
That she was the one
The perfect solution to a broken heart
A new source of distraction and fun

I put my trust
Into her open arms
But at the same time she pushed me away
Rejection melded with charm

It was so hard to let her go
It was so painful to leave
It took a lot of failed attempts to finally realize
She would never do anything but deceive

I was convinced
After all she put me through
That I would never meet anyone worth my time
No matter what I would do

Sometimes it isn’t so easy
To go towards the light
The dark side holds so much temptation
And sometimes you hold on too tight

A few short months later
I met this new girl
A new interest was invented
Something new in a otherwise old broken world

It is now so hard for me
To trust another soul
And I’m scared to feel myself grow attached
To who could turn out to be just as cold

But the weeks have gone by
And the time that we spend
Has made me care for her so much
It has helped my heart to mend

She seems so different
Apart from them all
She has been there for me so far
I never thought that in love she would fall

I touch her soft skin
And I remember how it feels
To care for another and give a new chance
And start to grease the wheels

Though I do have some worry
That she will disappear
That she may not feel the way she says
And that she may only pretend to care

Time will tell
And it does feel strong
And I hope, hope, hope
That this will last real long

For I feel myself loving her
I want to tell her all the time
I’m only scared I will scare her away
This is the battle in my mind

Every time she pulls me close
And I feel our hearts beat together
I forget about my past of painful endings
And I start to feel much better

Right now I miss you
I hope you are thinking of me
And I hope this time I can grasp this love
Without the enormous fee
