Fingernails Lyrics


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 fingernailsIm empty, lonely and accused, accused without a word
My fingernails are chipping down from clawing in the dirt
Im so lost, lost and confused, I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful when I am so afraidNever 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 fingernailsI watched it all slip through my hands, my brokenness revealed
Im so proud, Im so proud Im crying to be filled
Im killing, destroying the plague, thats killing me away
Ive got to live, Ive got to love like I am unafraidNever 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 fingernailsNever 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 fingernailsIm wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting, tasting every moment with you
Im suffering, Im bleeding, on my knees, whos going to save me?
Suffering, bleeding, save me from this pit of frailtyNever 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 fingernailsNever 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 fingernailsNever reaching me
