Silverware From The Civil War

about

Silverware From The Civil War was one of the first tracks I recorded with Cubase. It features a lot of unnecessary effects. My family was sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner and the topic of Antique Roadshow somehow came up and someone mentioned 'silverware from the Civil War' and I quickly realized that it is a bit of a tongue twister. Anyhow, we all got a good laugh out of it. My Dad always joked, "be careful what you say around Justin, he"ll write a song about it" (or i guess I will write about it here).

lyrics

Silverware from the Civil War
Gently twists my tongue
And you never cared for the clothes that I wore
Or the words to the songs that I've sung
Well, you'll take the high road, that's fine
But we, we couldn't, we couldn't find the time
And the blood from your closed fist to my nose
Gave a taste of the distance that grows
Oh my God, this aint happening to me
Dislocate myself, I'm not feeling well
I pray for the blood
To run backwards through my veins
Wake up in a womb
It's better than a tomb
Did I make up an excuse
For the way that I comb my hair
Silverware from the Civil War
Gently twists my tongue
