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

ANTICIPATION By: Shawn D. Petrie

ANTICIPATION
By: Shawn D. Petrie (12-12-1999)

Are you forbidden or
The one that is right for me
I cannot allow myself to consider that cause
Right now it is too far away to see

I set my sights on your heart
Will I get it right this time?
Hoping that slowly you will learn
You were made to be mine

And together we await
Each others possible dreams to succeed
Planning very carefully each and every move
Hoping to never exceed

The boundaries which have been set
By persons unnamed and unknown
I hope you feel the same as me when I say
I do not want to be alone

So as this game winds down
To a day when things can become real
I must protect my heart and soul
And be careful not to show what I feel

Besides it is way to soon
To be feeling this way at all
I still need to get over hurdle 2 and
Give you your first call

Its scary to feel this devoted to love
To the need that I think that I need
All I know is that you can be the one to
Heal me and to feed

Three more hours and I will give it a try
Talk as much as I possibly can
And hope that I don’t say the wrong thing
And that you would consider me as your man

I am going to go distract
My mind which is too full
And really think about what I really want
And weed out any unnecessary bull

BACKSTABBER By: Shawn D. Petrie

BACKSTABBER
By: Shawn D. Petrie (10-12-2000)

You taught me the ways
Of a blind man
You shot me down when I said
“I think I can”

All you’ve ever shown me
Is the wrong way back to shore
You pushed me to the limit
I won’t look around anymore

How could this have happened?
We used to be so close
Out of everyone I’ve ever known
I cared for you the most

All my life I have put trust in others
Only to find the dark
Once you get to know them you find
That you should not embark

And you say you wonder why
I seem to get so mad
If you could only understand what you did
Pushed me beyond the limits of being sad

Now back to sitting alone
Waiting and hoping to win,
Another true friend will come along
With open arms to take me in

AM I A MAN By: Shawn D. Petrie

AM I A MAN
By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-16-1995)

Am I a man
What makes a man a man
When he can’t even look at himself in the mirror

What is he considered when he gets scared
Remember a man isn’t supposed to cry
Should a man not feel love
Is he supposed to be alone

No one is totally alone
I am totally alone
I cannot look at myself in the mirror

Sometimes I get scared
Sometimes I run away
Am I allowed to run away
No man runs from anything

Sometimes I cry
Big boys don’t cry do they

Sometimes I feel love
But it is always a dead end

Like life,
Life is a dead end
I like life

Sometimes I feel alone
Maybe I am alone

I have lots of friends
But still I am alone
Maybe I was born to be alone

I am a rebel, I never listen
But I will do anything you say
Nothing exiting ever happens to me

Sometimes I get excited
Shit happens

– BLACK LIGHT – By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-14-1993)

BLACK LIGHT
By: Shawn D. Petrie (9-14-1993)

12 to 12 is my hourly day
Sleep all day long, sleep my life away
Cannot sleep until night, but as soon as I slip
Up rise the curtains on a nightmarish trip

I pray to this star that helps me to sleep
But that star is evil and corrupts that sleep
Inside myself when the lights aren’t bright
I’m inside my own hell without strength to fight

Feeling tired at first, but as soon as I think
I start to sweat, get weak, my life gone in a wink
Conflicting ideas of death and the end
Don’t fucking lie and say you’re my friend

As I wish to you tonight
Take away all my pain and fright
I wish to you each and every night
Some come true but in the end
I’ll soon find out that star is not my friend

If I could predict the future I would stop
My wish comes true when the curtain drops
But the sky glows white and my star burns black
I wish I could take that first wish back

I lay in my bed blow out the candle lit fire
Problem slip and hide, it’s time to be tired
My one and only though is more like a question
How to evade this fatal obsession

As I wish to you tonight
Release me from my thoughts and fright
The truth I now know is making me wilt
And that poisonous star helps out
As I wish upon this star
I pray for hate to leave me far

– BLEEDING – By: Shawn D. Petrie (6-13-1994)

BLEEDING
By: D. Shawn Petrie (6-13-1994)

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
and the first thing on my mind
Is the fact that I wish I was never born

Sometimes I go to sleep at night
with one thing on my mind
I hope that I don’t wake up at all

Sometimes I go to bed and toss and turn
And sometimes I don’t wake up at all

It’s hard to get by when you wish you were dead
It’s hard to sort out the thoughts in your head

This can’t be true, I never deceived
I want the truth but you only mislead

Truth cannot shine when I struggle to live
I try to compensate, but what more can I give

I try to find love in the soul of the cold
There is no turning back
once you have turned black hearted

I wish I was never born when love is rejected
And I never learned to keep
my hearts desires protected

Sometimes I wish I’d die
And sometimes inside I do
Sometimes I break down and cry
To protect myself I lie

I’d sell my soul for a quarter
If only to survive
Because in this rat race life
Only the strong will die

I would lie to protect a loved one
I would struggle to survive
If I had a reason and
Someone to help me get by

I would run across the waters
If you were waiting there
If there was someone on the other side
Anyone that cared

I would tell a thousand stories
I would die a thousand deaths
I would battle the evil wrath of sin
If for once my arms you were in

I would do so many things if love was in my life
I wouldn’t cry so much
Or live with one hand on the knife

If there was someone in my life
Maybe I wouldn’t cry

If there was someone In my life
Maybe I wouldn’t die

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
——>HERE<——-

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.

– Cold World – By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-16-1995)

Cold World
By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-16-1995)

It’s a cold, cold world
When you wait for the end
And the feelings of emptiness
Take over again

My soul spins endlessly
In a circle of death
Kept in motion by
The times spent in the dark

If I had me one wish
I would make the world change
I would bundle up my problems
And never face them again

Then it wouldn’t be so hard
For me to wake up each day
And watch the sands of time
As they slip slowly away

When I’m inside my head
And I’m searching for the door
And I’m finding things out
That I never knew before

Things I can’t forget
And some things I regret
Some of this place I still know so well
This may be the source of my hell

Sink into the black, you’re never coming back
The source of all evil lies within
Run but can’t hide, you’re in for a wild ride
And you’re never coming back

The truth is that you’re blind
And you cannot escape your mind
Your life is spent wasted inside this place
And your ruin will result in the end
