Fingernails Lyrics

Artist: Skillet
Album: Collide

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails
Under my fingernails

Iâ‚¬â„¢m empty, lonely, and accused
Accused without a word
My fingernails are chipping down
From clawing in the dirt
Iâ‚¬â„¢m so lost, lost and confused
I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful
When I am so afraid

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

I watched it all slip through my hands
My brokenness revealed
Iâ‚¬â„¢m so proud, Iâ‚¬â„¢m so proud
Iâ‚¬â„¢m crying to be filled
Iâ‚¬â„¢m killing, destroying the plague
Thatâ‚¬â„¢s killing me away
Iâ‚¬â„¢ve got to live, Iâ‚¬â„¢ve got to love
Like I am unafraid

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails (2x)

All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

Iâ‚¬â„¢m wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting
Tasting every moment with you
Iâ‚¬â„¢m suffering, Iâ‚¬â„¢m bleeding, on my knees
Whoâ‚¬â„¢s going to save me?
Suffering, bleeding
Save me from this pit of frailty

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails (2x)

All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

Never reaching me
