about

With the soaring melodies of Folk/Americana and the raw grit of Indie Rock, Dust dives headfirst into spiritual pain with an earnest and hopeful heart.

Psalm 103:13-14
"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust."

lyrics

I am nothing, I am dust
Just tattered clothes and rust
I am burnt out, I am lost
I’ve walked away despite the cost

But you’re my father, i’m your son
No matter what’s been said or done
I lose myself so easily
But your walking right beside me

You know how I was formed
You know that we are dust
And you are the strength I need
A father we can trust in

I am empty, I am tired
overwhelmed and uninspired
I’m losing sleep, i’m hanging on
When all my hope is almost gone

But you’re my father, i’m your son
And when it’s all been said and done
You understand, you feel my pain
You promise more than this place

You know how I was formed
You know that we are dust
And you are the strength I need
A father we can trust in

Oh, you know my pain
Oh, you promise more than this place
