Mind fucked By: Shawn D. Petrie

Mind fucked
By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-20-2000)

Introduction, interest
Closed session, closed doors
Open arms but locked behind
Closed arms, no love inside

Feeling thoughts of nothing
A change of pace
A lasting impression
Distracted by your words

A smile, a threat
A vision complete
Soft caress, pulled back
A little less than before

Together we fall
A warm embrace, success, a dream
I came so close
But now you are gone

LOVE By: Shawn D. Petrie

LOVE
By: Shawn D. Petrie (4-4-1996)

JUST TO HEAR THE BIRDS SING
COULD ONLY MEAN ONE THING
TO REALIZE THE BEAUTY WITHIN SPRING

COLDNESS OF HER OCEAN
RIPPING WAVES RIGHT THROUGH MY HEART
NATURE SEEMS CONFUSED,
SO CLOSE YET STILL APART

TO TOUCH THE LOVE INSIDE ME
A FEELING STRONG AND TRUE
A FEELING I CANNOT CONTROL
I HOPE YOU FEEL IT TOO

CONSIDER THIS AN INVITATION
TO A FUTURE FULL OF TRUST
TAKE YOUR TIME SLOW ME DOWN,
CALM ME IF YOU MUST

END SO GOES TO DAY
THE NIGHT BRINGS COMFORT AND LOVE
TRUE FEELINGS BURN THROUGH IDENTITY
AND THE GIFT IS FROM ABOVE

IT WILL BE EASY By: Shawn D. Petrie

IT WILL BE EASY
By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-13-1995)

ONCE UPON A LONG, LONG TIME
THERE LIVED A MAN NAMED TIM
HE STEEPED IN LIFE UP TO HIS CHIN
I GUESS HE COULDN’T HANDLE IT

HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
JUST LET GO
FORGET IT ALL
HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
BUT I DON’T THINK IT WILL

I ONCE KNEW A MAN NAMED BOB
HE FELT NO PAIN HE HAD NO HEART
HE HEARD IT ON THE RADIO STATION
HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY TO GO
HE THOUGHT HE KNEW IT ALL

HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
TO FIGHT IT ALL
FORGET YOUR FEELINGS
HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
IN MY HEART I DON’T HAVE IT TO BE

THESE MEN HAD A FRIEND NAMED TED
HE PARADED AROUND
LOOKING ON AS THE BEST
EVERYONE FEARED HIM BUT I DIDN’T
HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY, JUST DO IT
I WONDER WHERE HE IS TODAY

HE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
DON’T LISTEN TO THEM
WHAT IS WRONG
THEY SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
UNTIL MY END I KNOW IT WILL

Keep It Simple By: Shawn D. Petrie

Keep It Simple
By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-5-2005)

in the corner if a dusty cave
there’s a lone forgotten boy
been used to cross the bridge
of whats in need and whats in between

so many years have washed away
into the dugout mind
everything to keep him down
anything to keep him around

there could be one source of pain
but it will never show its face
there could be one way to live
but its impossible in this place

pain is all relative
need is relative
honesty is negative
just keep it simple kid
dont think too far ahead
dont stop and use your head
stay still before you know it
pretty soon you will be dead

thats what i want
youll become a robot
a spitting image of me
minus of course integrity

it all flows to a central point
that drains to a broken mind
the steel has began to rust
but he cant escape the chains
the king flea among the fleas
that live under you and me
push harder than ever before
to arouse activity

dangled just out of your reach
is a ring of the castle keys
sure you can come inside
but you will never be allowed to thrive

Its time By: Shawn D. Petrie

Its time
By: Shawn D. Petrie (1-3-2006)

Its time to do
What i know i shouldn’t do
Cause what I’ve learned to do
Is so very wrong

Taught as just a boy
That pain was part of life
Such a big part of life
That nothing else got through

Hit and beat and tossed aside
Laughed at, pointed at, spit at
Made to feel alone
And that’s exactly what i am

But its time to stand
And put away the fist
Its time to close the door
To things that get me pissed
Its time to walk away
And reach into the day
Cause the only life i’ll ever have
Is the one I’m wasting now

It is time to say
For once and this time for all
That i am through with pain
And my past cannot control me

Taught that love should hurt
Im finding thats a lie
I do not know how that seed was planted
But it must not continue to grow

And the tears you cry dont show me
That you will always stay
The tears you cried were just a sign
That you had already walked away

But its time to dry my eyes
And lay down on my bed
And fall asleep and breathe in calm
With nothing in my head
No thoughtts that make the world go black
No thoughts that you will soon come back
Just peace inside my head
Like I’ve never felt before

Will it stick, will it last
Or just another passing phase
Never knowing from then till now
How I will start to feel

Taught through constant teachine
Theres so much left to learn
And i still do not know anything
Not neary enough to loose concearn

That i may start to feel
This wicked way again
At least i know that i am strong
Having learned that in my weakest moments

But its time to learn from you
And what you did to me
And what i did to you
And accept that we are through
And wipe away the past
Like its memories to keep
And i will not forget
The pain, the lies, regret
The heart i hold inside
Is special and is true
And i wont let it turn to shit
By the likes of you
And even though we failed
I know that i did try
The very best that i ever could
And i hold that pride inside

The moment will soon come
The final cut of loss
The most official moment
In this whole goddamn circus
And as we part out ways
And you dissappear into the day
I hope you know that what you lost
Was yours if you had stayed
But you were far too weak
You turned to immature
And you turned into someone i didnt recognise
And you turned on me like a dog
I guess they say thats life
And i guess that im the fool
Not knowing how to keep you
And never paying attention to the rules
For sure i lost the game
I didnt know that we were playing
These feelings will someday fade
And your lying eyes will also
I hate how much i love you

love-construction analogy By: Shawn D. Petrie

love-construction analogy
By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-12-2006)

Through the clearing stands a place
Where dreams are close to home
And the people of the town
Move effortlessly around

This place is built on hope
A rock solid foundation
Trust that makes it strong
But there is something wrong

Brick upon brick as it was built
Some pieces were left out
Of for no other reason
Replaced with substitutions

What was called for in the plans
Was thought to be fulfilled
Except for minor details
Which would prove to be enormous

The structure was unknowingly places
On the fault of love and hate
And high up on the hill top
Stood a calling which was waiting

And down below the town
The houses and the dreams
The vaults of memories and progress
Waiting, unsuspecting, safe in its own ignorance

***************************************

And what is left
When the fire is cold
Is just another fire
But of a different kind

The example set is pushed upward
Into the mouth of the monster
And will be open for inspection
For those willing to inquire

The charred and grey remains
Of the once unknowing town
Cleansed by rain
And dusted by the gentle wind

Leaving nothing of what was
Just the memory of a time
When the world they built felt safe
No harm would ever come

And the souls left twisting
Cannot rest nor move ahead
There trampled and ignored
While the world moves itself along

And the cycle is pushed to re-set

Life will pass beneath your feet By: Shawn D. Petrie

Life will pass beneath your feet
By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-10-2007)

If you keep your mind closed tight
The world will close it’s doors
If you burn the ones you love
They soon will care no more

And when the train calls all aboard
You better take a seat
Because faster than you know it
Life will pass beneath your feet

Me incomplete By: Shawn D. Petrie

Me incomplete
By: Shawn D. Petrie (1-22-2007)

Its hurting me just to let go

And its hurting you

More than you can show

First there was nothing

Then there was a girl

Then there were problems

Then there was nothing

And I think its a sin

The way we don’t

Care anymore

Lord of the pit By: Shawn D. Petrie

Lord of the pit
By: Shawn D. Petrie (2-16-1996)

This is nothing like
What you may think
This is the root of all evil
He is the lord of the pit

This will blow your mind
And destroy your flesh
This is his all powerful plan
The lord of the pit

Do not deny your sins
Because he is all knowing
He will throw you into the pit
The lord of the pit

It is in mans nature to destroy himself
Quicker than you may think
His job is to see it through
The lord of the put

Don’t disobey the lord of the pit
He is high on command at home in this land
Show him your fear, the lord of the pit
You cannot escape the lord and his pit

Little things By: Shawn D. Petrie

Little things
By: Shawn D. Petrie (Winter 2000)

Silly little children
Playing in a field
Tiny little soldiers
Hiding behind a shield

Scary little monsters
Hiding in the dark
Tiny little doggie
Such a great big bark

Hopeless little flowers
Dying in the shade
Hateful 16 year old boy
And the slicing of his blade

Creepy little bed bugs
Crawling on my skin
Faithless little nuns and priests
Living in there sin

Tiny little pile of dirt
Walked over on the ground
Showy little teenage girl
Weighing just one tiny pound

Sloppy little babies
Spilling every meal
Tiny little furry squirrel
Tiny little squeal

Senseless little meaning
All of this has had
Such a small effect it’s had
Not enough to make me mad

Tiny little minnows
Swimming in a stream
Nothing is ever as it seems
Life is but a dream

Keeping in touch By: Shawn D. Petrie

Keeping in touch
By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-9-2000)

Sitting here alone beside the candle light
And thinking back to that not so distant night
When I lost my grip which was too tight
As you pulled away with all your might

Its hard to recall that certain pain
Which tightens knots inside your brain
And brings on that certain special strain
Like being locked out in the freezing rain

Its been so long since I’ve seen your face
And new found images cannot replace
This new found evidence won’t close the case
And I still miss my corner of that special place

Its all been said and its all been done
In my dark world you were my sun
But all you wanted was to have some fun
Which you seemed to have found in everyone

Driving past your gravel road
I feel the weight of your heavy load
When you left me out in the freezing cold
When our sturdy floor of boards had bowed

Will you continue to remember me
And one day will you finally see
That you and I are meant to be
And only I hold the fitting key

Its been so long though there still is hope
I’ve met someone new and learned to cope
And I’ve cleansed my heart with mental soap
And I’m out of your noose, I’ve cut the rope

I feel unsettled though as time goes by
And sometimes it even hurts enough to cry
And sometimes I consider that I should try
To make you regret you ever said goodbye

I paint a new life with each stroke of the brush
Never again will I be so needy of a crutch
Though we may never be and I loved you too much
In my heart I know we will always keep in touch
