This album marks the completion of a body of work spanning over 20 years. I am finally ready to start recording the new album. Hypnotized By Disguise which should be out by the end of next year. In the meantime I have a few more songs that aren’t going to be on the new album that I will release through my blog. If you have not done so yet please sign up for the blog so you can be the first to hear new songs and the status of the new album.
Thank you to all my friends and fans that I have acquired up to this point, your support and encouragement mean a lot.
I have some ideas brewing for some tshirts, hoodies, beanies etc. I will post these items on my blog as they become available.
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) 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) 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 (out)

My Mirror (3min36) By: Shawn Petrie (6-4-2005) Performed BY: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Verse 1) I look into your eyes And I can see the anger A combination of the pain And your willingness to survive I know the life you live Gets harder every day I know how hard you try Just to watch it cast away
(Verse 2) I hear the words you say And pretend to understand An introduction to the truth On a trail can’t reach the end
(Verse 3) From where did you arise? How did you get so far? Will I make it out of here? Are you trying to get in?
(Verse 4) They call you mister do no right They say you’re the one to blame They talk amongst themselves And come to their conclusions
(Chorus 1) The light dims down to gray And so does your existence I wonder where you’re hiding Until the next reflection
(Voice) You, don’t need anyone else but me I will be the one you can turn to I’ll become you and you’ll become me I am the only one who can see you
(Verse 5) I turn to you and smile The smile is then returned And now we are connected With a synchronistic nod
(Chorus 2) The light dims down to gray And so does your existence Until we meet again Until the next reflection
(Voice 2) Hey, walk by again I’m in need of a friend And you need one two No one cares for you the way I do Come with me to another place inside
(Verse 6) These things I hear you say Will turn my heart to stone We must avoid the truth Keep there on the other side
(Chorus 3) All light has gone away As has my only friend I’ll see you once again Inside the next reflection

In A Heartbeat (4min41)
By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-25-2015) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Monologue) Here we stand before you Holding out our hands Putting on a show for each Woman child and man
We make a mockery of these proceedings As nothing we say will last And someday all these promises Will get buried in the past
You speak with true conviction But your intentions are not true But I am blinded by reality Because all I see is you
Past the dreams of a broken mind Beyond the doors you will find A lonely place a prison cell A place to wait that’s a lot like hell
You never cared and you never tried Evil games and foolish pride You’ll never reach where you belong Because in a heartbeat you’ll be gone
(Bridge)
You’re the one that’s cold at night You’re the one that’s dying in side You’re the one that’s lost it all You’re the one that’s losing your mind You’re the one that’s going through hell You’re the one with a cross to bear The way you treated me was very wrong And in a heartbeat you’ll be gone
(Monologue) And when I said I love you For sure you said it back But I know you never meant it I want to take it back
(Bridge) You’re screaming in the after glow You’re crying but no nobody knows You’re trying but nobody cares Because no one you love is there You’re acting your tough as nails But life has caught up with your tales And making out on your own Means making it out all alone for you
(Monologue) And when I said I trust you With every part of me You learned which ways to hurt me You learned which ways to burn me
I want to take you to your new place The one you’ll call your home It’s dark its cold it’s lonely And like me you’ll be alone
Your hear whispers in the coldest night That’s you conscience breaking through But you have used up all your chances And I’m forever done with you
Burn up all the memories Close the coffin door Moving into days of new A future without you

Out Of This World (4min40) By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-18-2015) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2005)
(Intro) Drum fade in Modem dialing static
(Vocal intro)
(Verse) Pictures on an LCD screen I have so many connections The possibilities With this technology
To make me feel less alone I’ll stay awake all night But when the tabs are closed Something just don’t feel right
(Chorus) And so its Out of my head Out of my mind Out of this world I’ll fly
(Verse) This walls a front for a made up life Check out these photos of me HA! But don’t go digging too deep You may not like what you see You’ve gotten down to the start of it all When I thought differently Here’s where you’ll become afraid But will you unfriend me?
(Chorus) And so its Out of my head Out of my mind Out of this world I’ll fly
(Verse) Vocal solo or instrumental
(Bridge) Well hang out in the darkness Of the interweb Well pass time and say things That we never meant Well build up and break bonds Without a second thought Because there’s very little chance That well be ever caught
(Verse) And now there’s nothing to see And I just stare at the screen Because you changed your mind You blocked and unfriended me
(Chorus) And so its Out of my head Out of my mind Out of this world I’ll fly Out of this web Chock full of lies Out of this world I’ll fly
(Verse vocal solo fade out Internet connection sound)
Meltdown (3min24) By: Shawn Petrie (9-22-2015) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015)
(Verse) Unthinkable violence from a source of love Frozen with fear when push comes to shove In a black and white world Only hate exits here No one around as the darkness grows near
(Verse) Living with trouble, raised by a beast Planting the hate that’s burning in me Too many blind spots increasingly cold regretting my birth till the day I grow old
(Verse) cant look around if all that I see Are penniless fingers pointing at me I want to break free of the shell that I’m in I want to escape and start over again
(Chorus) Why does it come down on me I am blinded by this world cant see Living my life though its coming to an end And I don’t ever want to wake up again
(Verse) Infected with trouble pressing on me Making it harder and harder to see All of blind spots twisted and cold Regretting my birth till my soul is sold
(Chorus) Why does it come down on me I am blinded by this world cant see Living my life though it’s coming to an end And I don’t ever want to wake up again
(Bridge)
(Verse) Shelter myself from the burning insanity No point if it is already inside of me Standing in the corner in a black and white life And the only thing that keeps me here is Faith in the knife
(Chorus) Why does it come down on me I am blinded by this world cant see Living my life though its coming to an end And I don’t ever want to wake up again
(Verse) Unbearable grief is growing in me Removing my eyes I can no longer see The word as it crumbles down at my feet And melts away as I’m facing defeat
(Verse) Accepting this fate as I fade away Nothing to do and nothing to say No where to go and no way to grow As I meltdown in the darkness below

Loaded Knife (4min04)
By: Shawn D. Petrie Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (10-4-2015)
(Verse 1) Inside this mind I can’t escape Demons search my soul to rape Inside this cell I feel no pain This hell I feel brings me much strain
To know I won’t and live in fear I’m all alone and no one cares One day I’ll free my mind of fire I grow so old my soul does tire
I’ll soon be free and live no more I’ll lose my friends and the things I adore Then I’ll rejoice and rest in peace The hell I know will no longer haunt me
(Chorus 1) You will pay for The hell you’ve given me
(Verse 2) Take me very far away from here I’m so sick of the pain and fear What once was home will never again be I’ve lost my self just leave me be
What tomorrow will bring for me Maybe I’ll drown in a deep dark sea My soul is lost, been chased up a tree What once was real will never be
(Chorus 2) You will pay for The hell you’ve given me
(Verse 3) I’ve lost my girl I’ve lost my friends Tell me when will this nightmare end I sleep in warm that feels so cold You watch me fade as I grow old
Everything that I’ve come to know As quickly as I learn it quickly goes An empty shell is what I’ll be Don’t waste your tears or hope for me
There’ll come a day when I’ll be gone Maybe you’ll look back on this song All I could hope for was this pain To go away, death made me sane
