Skillet - Fingernails Lyrics
Never reaching what I want to reachNever being who I want to beBlaming me when I fall and failAll my dreams splinteringUnder my fingernailsUnder my fingernailsI’m empty, lonely, and accusedAccused without a wordMy fingernails are chipping downFrom clawing in the dirtI’m so lost, lost and confusedI threw it all awayHow can I be beautifulWhen I am so afraidNever reaching what I want to reachNever being who I want to beBlaming me when I fall and failAll my dreams splinteringUnder my fingernailsAll my dreams out of reachUnder my fingernailsI watched it all slip through my handsMy brokenness revealedI’m so proud, I’m so proudI’m crying to be filledI’m killing, destroying the plagueThat’s killing me awayI’ve got to live, I’ve got to loveLike I am unafraidNever reaching what I want to reachNever being who I want to beBlaming me when I fall and failAll my dreams splinteringUnder my fingernails (2x)All my dreams out of reachUnder my fingernailsI’m wasting, wasting every momentI want to be tastingTasting every moment with youI’m suffering, I’m bleeding, on my kneesWho’s going to save me?Suffering, bleedingSave me from this pit of frailtyNever reaching what I want to reachNever being who I want to beBlaming me when I fall and failAll my dreams splinteringUnder my fingernails (2x)All my dreams out of reachUnder my fingernailsNever reaching me
