Another Lesson (4min16)
By: Shawn Petrie (10-11-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay

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 looked on the bright side
Another lesson learned

I had a hope
This time you had changed
That you’d care for me
As I always cared for you

I felt the loneliness
When you wouldn’t be there
When you turned you back on me
When I found that you lied to me

(Chorus)
I felt the pain in my heart and my soul
Washed over my body like the rain
I felt the deceit you couldn’t honor our friendship
wouldn’t change for me can’t 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 pain of lies
Lies that were forgiven
But never acknowledged

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

I felt the jealousy
Another man
Twisting my heart
Crushing my faith for you

(chorus)
I felt the pain in my heart and my soul
Washed over my body like the rain
I felt the deceit you couldn’t honor our
friendship
wouldn’t change for me
Cant even change for yourself

(solo)

(chorus)
I felt the pain in my heart and my soul
Washed over my body like the rain
I felt the deceit you couldn’t honor our
friendship
wouldn’t change for me
Cant even change for yourself

I saw the truth
For once it shined on me
It was blinding and painful
A life of agony

I saw your eyes
I knew it was true
They told me who you really are
And that I never knew you

I had a vision
Or was it a dream
People that I grew to trust
Had let me down
When it was over
I knew the truth
I would never trust again
Another lesson learned

One Wish (2min53)
By: Shawn Petrie (10-11-2015)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse 1)
My blood runs colder as
I wait for the end
And the feeling of emptiness
Takes over again
My tears run endlessly
In a circle of death
Kept in motion by
The time spent in the dark

(Chorus 1)
But, if I had one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

(Verse 2)
Then it wouldn’t be so hard
For me to wake up each day
Loose grip on the sands of time
As I slip away
When I’m inside my head
And I’m looking for the door
I’m finding out many things
I never knew before

(Chorus 2)
But, if I had one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

(Verse 3)
But I can’t forget
Or let go of regret
I still know this place so well
It may be the source of my hell
The truth is, I’m blind
And I cannot escape my mind
My life is spent wasted in this place
And my death will result in the end

(Chorus 4)
But, if I had one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

Left Alone (3min15)
By: Shawn D. Petrie
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (2015)

(Verse)
I hate the thought
of being alone
I did’nt want you to go
And I told you so

It’s now clear
I’m starting to see
You shine in the pain
you inflict on me

(Chorus)
My hearts 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 along tonight

(Verse)
But you left me here
In the bitter cold
You made me feel tired
alone and old
With only my shadow
On the wall
Sitting by the phone
Waiting for your call

(Chorus)
I close my eyes
And remember you
All my fears
Are coming true
I beg and plead
For you to stay
But you only seem
To pull away

I will pretend
to smile now
While you twist
the knife in my heart
You’re a dirty
stain on my life
And now I want
you out of it

(Bridge)
I don’t wanna wake up
In the morning light
Live another day
To See your face
The hope that I had
That you’d come back
Was just a dream
And now it’s turned to black
The curtains close
You killed the dream
A waste of time
Not what you seem
The sooner I forget
Your wicked lies
The sooner I’ll get
To dry my eyes

(Outro)
Just when I thought
I was dead, the thought of love
Pushed from my head
Something I never, seen before
Someone who, could offer more
Shining light, through my door
Everything I wanted, all and more
Perfection in front of me
And now blessed is the day
That you stepped away

Powder Shell (3min30)
By: Shawn Petrie (5-2-2004)
Performed by: August Will Decay
Loaded Knife Records (9-17-2015)

(Intro)

(Verse 1)
Knights in shiny, powder shells
Gods of light,
Fright and power
Controlled situation, no way out

(Chorus 1)
Every time that I try to talk to you
It’s like talking to a fucking statue
I see your eyes but you can’t see mine
Are you looking right through me
As your talking down to me

(Bridge 1)
Powder shell, powerful shell
Problems annoy but people can’t tell
Powder shell, powerful problems
People are plastic in a powder shell

(Verse 2)
False smiles on, molded faces
Gather here in there
Special places
Selective invitation, no way in

(Chorus 2)
Every time that I try to talk to you
It’s like talking to a fucking statue
I see your eyes but you can’t see mine
Are you looking right through me
As your talking down to me

(Bridge 2)
Powder shell, insignificant shell
False identity, and people can tell
I’ll strip you of your only protection
Take a stand and wipe away your shell

(Verse 3 solo)
(Chorus 3 solo)
(Bridge 3 sample)

(Verse 4)
Fools in what
Will now be nothing
Forever lost and gone away
No more games to play
And no more lies
