Dust Off the Dust

folk, Anthemic alt-rock in the spirit of early-2010s arena bands: intro built on intimate piano and smoky sax lines, male vocals close to the mic, Acoustic guitar strums enter on the first verse, then a tight cajón groove lifts the pre-chorus, Chorus hits big with stacked gang-style “whoa”s, octave vocal doubles, and sax answering the vocal hooks, Final chorus pushes the energy with aggressive strums, driving cajón patterns, and a soaring sax countermelody before a stripped piano outro button, acoustic

[Intro] Hands on the keys Room barely breathing Sax in the corner Softly repeating [Verse 1] I’ve tasted gravel Face to the ground Every cheap failure Echoes too loud But I’m still shaking Stones from my shoes All of these bruises Proof I pulled through [Pre-Chorus] If my voice cracks I’m still gonna shout If my hands shake I’m still reaching out [Chorus] I will Dust off the dust again (again) Stand in the storm again (again) Bleeding but born again I won’t lay down I will Bite on the broken edge Climb when there’s nothing left This is my only pledge I won’t back down (I won’t back down) [Verse 2] Acoustic splinters Marks on my hands I built my backbone Out of these strands Every last “never” Thrown at my name I stitch it into Fuel for the flame [Pre-Chorus] If my faith shakes I’ll nail it in place If my knees fall I’ll rise from that space [Chorus] I will Dust off the dust again (again) Stand in the storm again (again) Bleeding but born again I won’t lay down I will Bite on the broken edge Climb when there’s nothing left This is my only pledge I won’t back down [Bridge] Tell me I’m finished Watch how I start Scraping the rust off The steel in my heart Every “you can’t” I’ll turn into “must” Breathing in fire Breathing out dust (hey!) [Chorus] I will Dust off the dust again (again) Stand in the storm again (again) Bleeding but born again I won’t lay down I will Bite on the broken edge Climb when there’s nothing left This is my only pledge I won’t back down [Outro] Hands on the keys Last note of light Dust off the dust I stay in the fight
