Dust And Guilt Lyrics
Sensations, curse me and my ways
Force-feed me blind on empty days
Today, my faith was lost again
A grave was dug to mourn its loss
And in this grave I keep my friends
Loneliness, impure urges
And the pain that only I can bring
A mouthful of dust and guilt
A season of haste and wilt
And to this day I'll search for you
To nurse and clean
My mouthful of dust and guilt
Come forever
Come blindness
Come bringing forth
The pain of logic and reason
That hides in here
And for my dreams I'll pay dearly
Forfeit my rights to see clearly
Your flaws, my flaws
In all of our ways
Force-feed me blind on empty days
A grave was dug to mourn its loss
And in this grave I keep my friends
Loneliness, impure urges
And the pain that only I can bring
A season of haste and wilt
To nurse and clean
My mouthful of dust and guilt
Come blindness
Come bringing forth
The pain of logic and reason
That hides in here
And for my dreams I'll pay dearly
Forfeit my rights to see clearly
Your flaws, my flaws
In all of our ways

Simple: the speaker has lost his faith and, thus, has also lost his friends and family. Hence, the "dust and guilt".
I think it is about someone loosing their faith, but it has nothing to do with other people's reactions, its an entirely internal struggle. Hence "the pain that only I can bring".

He wants very badly to believe in his religion, but he has realized that it isn't true. "Blindness" signifies blind faith and being ignorant of the truth. "The pain of logic and reason" describes his pain when he realizes his religion isn't true.

"Sensations, curse me and my ways Force-feed me blind on empty days" -The person wants to not attend to real world things. -He instead wants to drown his problems by seeking distractions (drugs, alcohol, religion itself etc)
"Today, my faith was lost again A grave was dug to mourn its loss" -He loses faith in the real world "And in this grave I keep my friends" -Hes pushing away support, willing to escape his problems "Loneliness, impure urges And the pain that only I can bring" -Hes built a solitude world for himself in order to reach his 'deity'
"A mouthful of dust and guilt A season of haste and wilt" -Hes guilty of leaving his problems (or whatever), but desperate to eliminate them "And to this day I'll search for you To nurse and clean My mouthful of dust and guilt" -His deity can only deny real problems
"Come forever Come blindness Come bringing forth The pain of logic and reason That hides in here" -He wishes to see the reality again by accepting the truth "And for my dreams I'll pay dearly Forfeit my rights to see clearly" -By depriving his religion, he will be able to tend to the real world again "Your flaws, my flaws In all of our ways" -He realizes the real world and himself are irrational beings, religion and reason dont seem to make sense
By that I assume the song was directed mainly towards escapism (drugs, religion, solitude) and then trying to deal with the world again and fall back into old habits. So maybe addiction? Keshik seems to have it right but this song could apply to anything i spose. its a good song.
