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 watched 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, destroying the plague
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 [2x]

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 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
