A B O U T M E / W E L C O M E T O A U G U S T W I L L D E C A Y . C O M

I have, for as long as I can remember, have had a creative / artistic side that needed to get out. Having experienced many things in my life which caused me to gain a rather different perspective on things than my peers I began to express myself through poetry. In the beginning there were three of us going by the name of Disobedience, we were young, angry (especially me) and determined to make any sort of music we could on that dirt floor in the basement practice area we jammed in.

After some time things just kind of tapered off we got jobs, finished school and kind of moved on with life. However I continued to create and develop my style as a solo artist going first under the name of King9ine. This name was taken up by another band calling themselves King Nine (which I also used this variant too long ago) but just as well I needed to start a new chapter in my life after a period of very tough emotional times which came to a head in August 2013.

I was in a slump, possibly the lowest point in my life and I sat down and wrote a poem called August Will Decay. That is how I felt, that during that terrible month of August I would decay. (My emotional state anyway) And I guess to a certain extent it did. I was forever changed by the events that followed and I have come to realize that I will only ever have this one life to live and with that life I can choose to sit around writing sad poems which would turn into the occasional song or I can really try and put some effort into showing the world who I am, what I am made of, what I have been through, my hopes, thoughts, beliefs, and failures through music which I hope some people can relate to.

I am living currently in this new chapter of my life where I have decided not only will I make this effort to show people my music but I will make it an obsession to achieve. I have been sitting on dozens of song for the last 15 years that I have unearthed and polished up the best I can and I have released some EP’s which showcase some old songs but also some new songs.

I am going to keep making my heart speak through music and this website is just another effort in this chapter in my life to make my voice heard. And while I could never thank the people in my life that have caused me endless pain I can at least say that they have inspired me. Driven me. And pushed me to further succeed beyond, hopefully what I even think is possible.

My albums that are for sale can be purchased

August Will Decay is an honest expression of raw emotion good bad or indifferent we all have emotions I am not afraid to voice mine.

– Another Moment – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-17-2006)

Another Moment
By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-17-2006)

So fragile and weak
Can’t rely on anger anymore
Any moment could be the one
From which I wont return

Up and down my emotions go
I miss you so damn much
Trying not to blame myself
But i see so many faults

I wanted to be perfect for you
For our hearts to heal together
You promised me your love
You promised me forever

But the things we said that day
Mean nothing in this emptiness
That i occupy alone
And it is so agonizing

I remember your face
And every single touch
And everything I hated
And everything i loved

– After My Innocence – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-12-2000)

After My Innocence By: Shawn Petrie (10-12-2000)

Thoughts blow up
Like gunshots at night
I feel so alone
But put up no fight

Social life flushed
Because I can’t stand to go
And talk to new people
That I don’t even know

You can’t understand
You’re less than a man
Open up your heart
Care for once if you can

My friends have all fled
Because I’m always too sad
Like a plaster mold of a crying clown
I always feel bad

Frowning for a reason
I cannot let you know
But if you promise not to tell anyone
I’ll try to let it show

I am longing for you and I’m dying inside
You left me alone, left me to cry
I’ll never know how you really felt about me
I just wish I had the courage to give it one more try

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

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”

**** (FOUR STARS)
“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.”

****** (SIX STARS)
“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.”
