BE GONE
By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-13-1995)

ONCE IN A DAY
BEFORE THE SUN RISES
LOST ONLY IN A FEW
BEGIN END NOW I AM ALSO

MAYBE I WILL COME OVER
WE WILL TALK FOR A WHILE
YOU CAN ASK ME ABOUT MY DAY
I WILL TELL YOU WITH A SMILE

GONE FOR A RIDE
FOR A WALK OUTSIDE
IT IS SUCH A BIG WORLD
I AM SO SMALL

PROMISES LOST
FORGOTTEN IN THE ASH
FADING LOVE, HOPE TO FOLLOW
TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I THINK I WILL SHOW
CAUSE SOME TROUBLE
LEAVE YOU ALONE
LEAVE ME ALONE

ONCE IN A DAY
BEFORE THE SUN RISES
LOST IN A SECOND
GONE FOREVER

SOON TO BE FOUND
LOST IN THE SYSTEM
JUDGE ME ON MY APPEARANCE
I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING

STOP BY AND SAY HI
CLOSE YOUR DOOR
BE GONE
BE FUCKING GONE

– Burning Rainbows – By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-4-1995)

Burning Rainbows
By: Shawn D. Petrie (8-4-1995)

Ready burning rainbows
ripe for the picking
keep it under lock and key
safe inside from you and me

Separated odd affairs
thrown into the mix
I wonder how this could ever work
under circumstances out of my control

Tunnels of love
empty out into cold rooms
storage for the mind
corruption of its tools

Ready burning rainbows
talking against themselves
talk and say they have no meaning
at least not anymore

Nothing symbolizes love
at least not anymore
stomp it away and leave yourself wondering
just what is this love for?

– Break Up – By: Shawn D. Petrie (7-12-1999)

Break Up
By: Shawn D. Petrie (7-12-1999)

Why do you lie
And carry on with a sigh
Yes I am a guy
But you still made me cry

Why did you hurt
And say all of those lies
With how you just left me
I wish I would die

For once in my life
I loved someone else
But you put my heart
At arms length on your shelf

I think in your mind
Love will come and go
But I was never like that
But you didn’t want to know

I thought that you could love
Although you never spoke
And when the ending words finally came
I felt like I was choking

I feel bitter depression
You didn’t have the right
To play with my emotions
I guess you’ll just look for a new session

For gods sake do not do this
To any more unsuspecting men
I will see to it
That you do not do this again

All you want
You put into them
You do not love
And you never will

– Boiling Point – By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-14-2015)

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

Cannot breathe
Lips go numb
Eyes sparkle inside
Blood boils behind my cheeks
Teeth grind away
Finger nails dig in
As I make the tightest fist

Want to scream
But cannot
Can only grit my teeth
Boiling down in my gut
Re-opening all the old cuts
Runs red inside the mind
Twisting inside

Tears sting
Wipe away years of progress
Regress back into it
What was once forgotten
Lost in the lie
Been so many years
I once again remember

Where’s my boiling point

– After The Pain – By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-2-1995)

After The Pain
By: Shawn Petrie (11-2-1995)

Today I said I loved you
But you turned me from your door
That was something you promised me
You would never do, you swore

You lift me from the dark below
From the black that I reside
To put me in your comfortable place
And make me feel empty inside

And that final day I saw you
I just thought I’d die
Because all my forgotten love came back
And it hurt so bad I cried

But I hear that’s what you wanted
And I wanted to change to be
A man to be desired and loved
But you could never change for me

So as my mental pictures fade
Slip and crack away
I want you to know I’ll always love you
But never forgive the things you say

The future for me seems set
Although not very bright
You will never know the pain I feel
When I think of you at night

But I suppose it just wasn’t meant to be
I was just one of your flings
But I fall in love so easily
And that’s just one of my things

– Alone Another Night – By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-14-2004)

Alone Another Night
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-14-2004)

I hate the thought of being alone
I didn’t 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

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 alone tonight

but you left me here in the bitter cold
you made me feel tired and old
with only my shadow on the wall
sitting by the phone waiting for your call

I close my eyes and remember you
all my fears are coming true
I beg and plead for you to stay
you always 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

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 ill get to dry my eyes

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 you stepped away

– Another Chance – By: Shawn D. Petrie (2-2-2007)

Another Chance
By: Shawn D. Petrie (2-2-2007)

Giving up on a recent hope
An idea that i could settle
Land on a new and happy place
Someone new to hold my hand

There were just too many things
Gone wrong and going wrong
Did i help create the chaos
Did she also to contribute

And the tears fell
And the heart was broken
The dreams pushed just a little further
From the plans of the parties

I did my best this time
I did not deceive
I could not go on
Without that feeling inside

Will i have another chance
Am is so in the wrong
And i such a bad person
Do i deserve what i ruined

I keep on trying
I keep on looking
Avery corner is cold and dark
Then i run into something on the way

With little hope that it will work
Already so many things don’t work
Needing to adjust my life
Needing to find a new wife

– Always The Same – By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-12-2000)

Always the same
By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-12-2000)

In a world that feels as cold as ice
I cling to those who treat me nice
But that almost always ends in pain
Everyone just keeps playing there games

There was a time I would hate just to spite
The people who hurt me, the ones I would fight
The ones who would leave me always alone
Only shortly after my true feelings have shown

Can’t anyone look, realize just like me
That life’s already hard and not as it should be
My friends and my foes I delicately arrange
All the time wishing, hoping for change

You sit in your place and you seem up so high
I wish you could feel this and notice my cries
I only just wanted to see us the same
But were saying goodbye before saying our names

– 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
