Fingernails

[Verse 1] 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[x2] I am empty, lonely, and accused Accused without a word My fingernails are chipping down From clawing in the dirt I am so lost, lost and confused I threw it all away How can I be beautiful When I am so afraid [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I watched it all slip through my hands My brokenness revealed I am so proud, I am so proud I am crying to be filled I am killing, destroying the plague That is killing me away I have got to live, I have got to love Like I am unafraid [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I am wasting, wasting every moment I want to be tasting Tasting every moment with you I am suffering, I am bleeding, on my knees Who is going to save me? Suffering, bleeding Save me from this pit of frailty [Chorus] 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
