Fingernails - Skillet

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

I’m empty, lonely and accused

Accused without a word

My fingernails, are chipping down, from clawing in the dirt

I’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 watch it all slip through my hands

My brokenness revealed

I’m so proud, I’m so proud, I’m crying to be filled

I’m killing, distroying the pain, that’s killing me away

I’ve got to live, I’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

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’m wasting, wasting every moment

I want to be tasting, tasting every moment with you

I’m suffering, I’m bleeding, on my knees

Who’s gonna 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

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

Never reaching me!
