dust - rope and ladder lyrics

Loading...

i built my faith from the ground up, i laid every stone
i stood on it through storm and wind to see if it could hold
hold

i built my whole life all by the sweat of my face
i hand*picked every brick that i laid

i build the trust and reverence of man with bloodshed and bare hands
i stood alongside them so we could lean on our shoulders and hold each other up
when the winds and waves got rough

i built my whole love out of everything i had left
i gave her everything i had left
everything i had, everything i was, holds nothing in size to what i would become
with my faith, friends, life, and love building me up

but all i’ve made and am made of
it all collapsed to ash at once
it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
it’s dust
it’s all dust
it’s all it ever was
it’s dust
it’s all dust
it’s all it was

i tried to build a better man, but i was piling sand ashore a rising tide
and all i could do was watch it wash away, a little every day
i was never up to me to decide, no matter how you fortify
you live, you love, you die

all you get to leave behind are all your ashes in a pile
it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
it’s dust
it’s all dust
it’s all it ever was
it’s dust
it’s all dust
it’s all it was

if it’s all dust, my body and blood
god and a heaven above, and unconditional love
then this is all dust
my pain and my pride, these walls which confine
and all i’ll need is time, time is all i have
i will see to my rise, i will hunt what is mine, and i will take it all back!
