Everything Must Go

Everything must go. Everything Must Go is the second song from The Pawnshop, the second EP by Rustgasm. The man comes back to the shop, and this time it's easy. He sells a girl on a fire escape, his mother's voice, his wedding morning, and in the end his own name. The old man only smiles and closes the ledger book. The Pawnshop EP comes out on Spotify, Apple Music and all streaming platforms on October 23. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss the next chapter. Lyrics The second time was easy and the third time even more He had the scale out waiting when I opened up the door I sold a girl on a fire escape, a bottle of cheap wine The way she said my name like it was hers as much as mine I sold my mother's voice, the way she called me in to eat Now there's a kitchen window somewhere empty on the street My shirt still smells like something burning even when it's clean I keep hearing names at night of men I've never seen Everything must go Clear the shelves and sell the floor I don't need to know What I was keeping it all for I sold my wedding morning and the long walk down the aisle Somebody in a white dress, I can't see her, just the smile Every night I see a door that doesn't give an inch I feel the key inside my fist, the heat, and I don't flinch I wrapped the key in a handkerchief, it burned right through by noon He only glanced at it and smiled and told me "Not yet. Soon." So I sold him my own name, I signed it on the line He blew across the ink and said the signature looked fine Everything must go Clear the shelves and sell the floor I don't need to know What I was keeping it all for I walk home through the city and I can't read the signs My house is full of furniture and none of it is mine I asked him what was left to sell, he didn't even look He tapped my pocket once and closed the ledger book Everything must go Clear the shelves and sell the floor Now I finally know What I was keeping it all for #Rustgasm #EverythingMustGo #ThePawnshop #DarkMusic #Storytelling
