Farewell to fair-weather By: Shawn D. Petrie

Farewell to fair-weather
By: Shawn D. Petrie (3-31-2015)

Farewell to fair-weather
There are rainy days ahead
But it wont last forever
You’ll find happiness instead
Farewell to fair-weather
No one ever made a change
Trying to do things differently
But ending up the same

Your eyes, they lie behind the tears
Doing nothing for me now
I try to think of better days
But cannot figure out how
I ever saw so much in you
With so little left inside
And right before you walked away
I was the only one who tried

The promises mean nothing
The life we made is broken
My heart is bleeding out
From all the lies that were spoken

Farewell to fair weather
There is danger up ahead
I would like to leave you far behind
And find the sun instead

Farewell to fair weather
Farewell to lies
Farewell to cried
Deceit and disrespect

Familiar By: Shawn d. Petrie

Familiar
By: Shawn d. Petrie (12-12-2001)

A flickering burning candle light
Hope to get him through the night
A bitter slice of broken hope
A forgotten past, his heart cant cope

A small lost boy out in the rain
A reflection of inner, ancient pain
Burdened down so strong, so long
There is no question that he has been wronged

A memory too much to bear
Believing that no one cares out there
A show of affection brings only fear
The helpful words he cannot hear

Loved ones so easily come and go
A relinquished need he could not show
And once again left all to blame
The hidden lines spotted within this game

The flame which helped him through is black
Has flickered through and cant come back
And because he’s familiar with this pain
He prepares to go through it once again

Feeling By: Shawn D. Petrie

Feeling
By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-14-2015)

Why do I feel this way
I struggle through most every day
And with these memories I can’t erase
I’m doomed to feel a certain way

I wouldn’t quite call it pain
I wouldn’t quite call it hate
But a combination of the two
That only certain drugs sedate

I stare into the corner blindly
All thoughts have washed from me
Everything gets to me so easily
And what is good I never see

I can never quite confront you
So ill ask you in this way
Would you please put a gun to my head
So this can be my final day

COLD BLOWS OUT THE FIRE By: Shawn D. Petrie

COLD BLOWS OUT THE FIRE
By: Shawn D. Petrie (7-12-1996)

THERE ARE PLENTY OF DAYS
LEFT TO ENJOY LIFE
BUT I AM AFRAID
SOON THERE WILL BE NONE
SO MUCH TIME TO FINISH THE SWAMP
NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR FUN

I KNOW IF I LOOK DOWN ON IT
I WILL NEVER ACCEPT LIFE
I UNDERSTAND NOW
WHY THE SNAKE BITES

THERE IS SO MUCH HATE
FELT BY SO MANY
IM AFRAID IT TOO
WILL GROW INSIDE OF ME
SO MUCH TIME TO FINISH THE SWAMP
WITH NO TIME LEFT TO PLEASE

I KNOW IF I FORGIVE MYSELF
I WILL HAVE NOTHING MORE TO HATE
I UNDERSTAND NOW WHAT LIFE MEANS
WHAT LIES AHEAD IN MY FATE

THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME LEFT
MY TIME IS LIMITED
SO MUCH TIME TO DIE IN THE SWAMP
NO MORE TIME FOR FUN

DISASTER AREA By: Shawn D. Petrie

DISASTER AREA
By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-17-1995)

Trouble emerges
Everything happens at once
What was once silent and sweet
Now a disaster

Problems and harassment
People too blind to see the problem
Batter and bother
Now and here after

My life’s a disaster area
Land minds for friends
Traps and trip wires for advice
My life’s a joke and it only gets worse

Stupidity and ignorance
Flood the scene all at once
What ides thought to be creative
Now are labeled dumb

No problems inside
Once you break through the shell
And people don’t help much
Surrounded with hell

No problem you say
Step inside for the ride
Try my life on for a day
And see how it feels

Open ‘till end
This day will self destruct my friend
It will come to an end
My friend in the end

Safe an secure now
My life will soon be over
They tell me I’m wrong
‘Cause they have no direction

Evil By: Shawn D. Petrie

Evil
By: Shawn D. Petrie (1-11-2000)

I had a vision
Or was it a dream
People in a place of light
With a warmth that healed my soul

I had a love
That I thought was real
I foolishly looked at the bright side
Another lesson learned

I had a hope
That this time you had changed
That this time you would care for me
As I have always cared for you

I felt the loneliness
When you refused to be there for me
When you turned your back on me
When I found out you lied to me

I felt the pain
In my heart
In my soul
Washed over my body like the rain

I felt the deceit
You couldn’t honor our friendship
You wouldn’t change for me
You cant even change for yourself

I felt the weight
Bearing down on my strength
Pushing me down
Beating my faith into the ground

I felt the anger
The rage of built up lies
Lies that were forgiven
But never acknowledged

I felt the distance
You brushed me off as though we never met,
As though you never cared
You proved to me that you never did

I felt the jealousy
A vision of another man in your arms
Twisting my heart
Crushing my trust for you

I saw the truth
For once it shined on me
It was blinding and painful
And invoked back logged agony

I say your eyes
They told me the worst was true
They told me who you really are
And that I never knew you

I saw his reaction
To the description of your game
I could tell he didn’t care
I know he is the right one for you

I had thought what we had was real
I felt like I could trust you
I saw that you never cared for me
And just as easily as you dismissed me
I now must bury this evil

Everything Mends By: Shawn D. Petrie

Everything Mends
By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-16-2000)

Don’t speak of this day
And the immaturity we displayed
The tag team circle and the little mind games
That forced me once again to go away

This dam can be broken down
With fragmented pieces on the ground
And what you will hear is only one sound
As I back up and over this flashy mound

Arms outstretched from someone that cares
Someone that holds the knowledge and bears
The keys to disable shells and dry tears
Hidden behind an aged face that she wears

Innocence in the room slowly corrupted
A small child’s heart suddenly abducted
A box of old memories unwillingly disrupted
And I bear witness to this masquerade of puppets

So many years wasted feeling alone
So many cries unanswered cause no one is home
A young man with an aged face and aching bones
Who wears the scent of agony like cheap cologne

Not feeling worse but not feeling better
Hearts a little harder, my eyes a little wetter
Too many distractions, a missed love letter
I would be so much happier if I could forget her

Here comes another long session
Of waiting and hoping and certain regression
Back to the shady mess of emotions, kept guessing
Sooner or later I will learn my lesson

Surprisingly hollow, little pain felt inside
Flashed through me quickly,
not enough time to cry
It felt like the end but I didn’t die
I couldn’t bear to look when I told you goodbye

So this is the end
We’re not even friends
No cards will we send
No rules will we bend

No starting new trends
There’s no tomorrow, no wondering when
But sooner or later
EVERYTHING MENDS

Defeating Myself By: Shawn D. Petrie

Defeating Myself
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-3-2006)

I just can’t take it anymore
The waiting and the wanting
The frustration
And the humiliation

Hating my nature
Deep inside
I cannot change
And i despise

It corrups my thoughts
Makes me suffer
Makes me angry
Makes me hatefull

This imbalence is wretched
And the result is disturbing
The days are now unbearable
And this darkness is burning me

I remember this friend
How could i forget
One of only few
I’ll never leave you behind again

DADDY BROWN By: Shawn D. Petrie

DADDY BROWN
By: Shawn D. Petrie (7-10-1999)

THERE WAS A MAN THAT I ONCE KNEW
THOUGH HE NEVER TAUGHT ME MUCH
HE GOT HIS LAWS AND STANDARDS FROM
A BIBLE FROM AN OLD WOODEN HUTCH

NOW I CAN SEE THAT IT WAS HARD
TO STRUGGLE THROUGH THOSE YEARS
BUT HOW DID HURTING HIS FAMILY
MAKE UP FOR ALL HIS TEARS?

IN SUBTLE WAYS HE LED ME DOWN
A PATH OF THE WALKING DEAD
AND MANY YEARS OF HEARING LIES
I BEGAN TO BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID

FOR MANY YEARS I LIVED BY THIS
A WORLD APART FROM PEACEFUL BLISS
I WANT OUT FOR I HAVE GROWN TIRED
BUT I’VE NEVER BELIEVED IN THE WISH

WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALONE
AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE TO BLAME
UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS JUST
A MEANINGLESS, RULELESS GAME

SO MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED
AS I HAVE COLLECTED HATE
AND A HEART HE HOLDS AWAY FROM US
WILL SURLY GO TO WAIST

I CAN STILL RECALL A TIME
WHEN WE STRUGGLED TO GET BY
AND WHEN I THINK OF HIM IN A CELL
I BEGIN TO FEEL SORRY AND CRY

IN ANTICIPATION WE WILL WAIT
FOR OUR TIMES TO COME AND GO
I’LL REGRET THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE
BUT I WONDER IF HE WILL

TEN YEARS GONE BUT STILL THE SAME
HIDDEN UNDER SNOW
HOPING IT WILL AT LEAST BE PEACEFUL
WHEN I SAY GOODBYE AND GO

THE PAGES TO MY STORYBOOK CLOSE
AND THE LIGHTS HAVE DIMMED TO GRAY
I WILL WAKE AGAIN TO THE RISE OF THE SUN
AND STRUGGLE THROUGH ANOTHER DAY

COLD WINDS BLOW By: Shawn D. Petrie

COLD WINDS BLOW
By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-13-1993)

YOU JUST ADD TO MY PROBLEMS
WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT I AM WRONG
THERE IS ONLY PAIN INSIDE
AND I STRUGGLE TO GO ON

THE PROBLEMS INSIDE
WRESTLE FLESH TO GET OUT
INSIDE THE MIND OF A DEAD MAN
YOU’LL FIND THE KEY TO WISDOM

I SAY LIFE IS NOT FOR THE LIVING
THEY SAY TAKE THE GOOD AND THE BAD
I SAY I DO NOT CARE ABOUT LIFE
THEY SAY YOU NEED TO GET THROUGH IT
I SAY I DON’T WANT IT ANYWAY

I CAN NO LONGER LIVE
I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO GIVE
DARKNESS FILLS MY HEART AND SOUL
ALL THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS RUNS COLD

THE TIME FOR ME TO DIE IS NEAR
I CANNOT BEAR THE THINGS I FEAR
AND IF YOU QUESTION MY EXISTENCE
I’LL SURLY DIE WITH NO RESISTANCE

COLD BLOODED By: Shawn D. Petrie

COLD BLOODED
By: Shawn D. Petrie (5-4-1995)

LOVE WAS PRESENTED TO ME
THEN STRIPPED AWAY
TRUE FEELINGS IGNORED
BECAUSE THEY CAME FROM THE HEART

THE HEART OF THE BEAST
WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHELL
SHE MAY LOOK SEXY
BUT WILL ONLY LEAD TO HELL

LOVE WAS TEASED LOVE WAS COLD
BUT LOVE NEVER EXISTED
I KNOW HER NEW DISGUISE
IS GETTING OLD

THE CLASSIC STORY
OF LOVE AND A KISS
WAS NEVER INVOLVED
NEVER CROSSED HER MIND

THE CLASSIC FEELING
OF A FEELING SO NICE
BUT SHE CRUSHED MY HEART
IN HER COLD STEEL VICE

SHE WILL ALWAYS BE COLD
COLD BLOODED FOREVER
I WILL NEVER KNOW
THE LIGHTER SIDE OF HER

I WILL NEVER KNOW IF SHE CAN LOVE
I WILL WONDER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
SHE WILL FOREVER BE COLD BLOODED
AND CONTINUE TO LIVE IN HER SIN

BLACKNESS By: Shawn D. Petrie

BLACKNESS
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-24-1995)

Enter a world where all you see and feel is true
Your protection from it is the faith inside of you
Venture into this world a darkened land of hate
Put out the fire before it’s too late

A black plague has swept the land
The realm of darkness only remains
It can only be lived in by the black of heart
And what lies inside are your nightmares

Step inside this world of hate, enter if you dare
Hold on tight for the ride of your life
And you never even left your home
Strap on your seat belt and enjoy the ride

All you see now is the blood on the wall
All of the lies come crashing down on you
The realm of darkness is already burning
And you feel yourself growing weak

It’s your own fault, you had to explore
Couldn’t find the key so you broke down the door
Curiosity killed the cat, and now
Your next to die on my list

Under his black spell you are less than a man
Truth and justice mean nothing in this place
Burning stabbing to give you a taste
When it’s over I know you’ll never be the same

Enter a world where all you see and feel is true
You’ve lost your protection
now they’re is nothing you can do
Enter a world a darkened land of hate
The fire is burning and now it’s too late

It was entered by you the black of heart
And your now alone to witness the pain
You are now back home but you never even left it
Just you and your fears to re-run it forever
