Reconstruction Lyrics by Dawn Oberg

Rye

2013

So you wanted out of here without delay
And you didn’t tell anybody who would try and make you stay
They say the effort took off half your face
Now with your remaining vision do you see a state of grace?
What made you pull the trigger? What made you miss your mark?
What wrestling match took place between those angels in the dark?
I don’t know you but I know you love something
A person, place or thing, maybe a song
And it’s not for me to tell you whether that should be enough
I just hope you let it feed you til you’re strong
I’ve seen burnt buildings climb back to the sky
Structures with intact foundations marked for their demise
There’s more to absence than just empty space
More to your demolition than just vacant real estate
What are you gonna build there? What do you love the most?
‘Cause I couldn’t see any point in singing this song to a ghost
