Pawn Shop

(album: Writing On The Walls - 2015)

"It's the quiet ones you gotta watch". You know that one, eh? Every time you see a story about a serial killer on T.V, what do they do? They bring on the neighbor. And the neighbor says "Well, he was always very quiet." And someone in the room says "It's the quiet ones you gotta watch." This sounds to me like a very dangerous assumption. I will bet you anything that while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will fucking kill you!

Lay down in the fire
Blown away in the breeze
Ashes to ashes
Sea to shining sea
I don't know what you believe
And I don't know what you have seen
But I do know this one thing
You aren't so different from me
I'm slipping away hearing treble
I'm vibrating seeing double
Hope I'm not causing any trouble
But I'm bringing it all down to rubble
Fuck this industry and fame
It's made my people become fake
We hang on every statement made
That's why I've got to bring the pain
I don't know what you know
And I don't know what you show
But life has taught me a lesson
What you plant is what you grow
Watch it grow yeah watch it grow
To see your lies like Pinocchio
Empty puppet who's got your soul
Sold out for some dough

It's the quiet ones you gotta watch
It's the quiet ones you gotta watch
