Open Wounds
Skillet - Collide © 2003
In the dark with the music on Wishing I was somewhere else Taking all your anger out on me, somebody help I would rather rot alone Then spend a minute with you I'm gone, I'm gone And you can't stop me from falling apart 'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault (Chorus)How could you, how could you, how could you hate me? When all I ever wanted to be was you? How could you, how could you, how could you love me? When all you ever gave me were open wounds? Downstairs the enemy sleeps Leaving the TV on Watching all the dreams we had turn into static Doesn't matter what I do Nothing's gonna change I'm never good enough And you can't stop me from falling apart' Cause my self-destruction is all your fault (Chorus) Tell me why you broke me down and betrayed my trust in youI'm not giving up, giving in when will this war end? When will it end? You can't stop me from falling apart (3X) 'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault. (Chorus)

We have fallen We have fallen again tonight Where do we go from here When they’re tearing down our lives? When all they want is When all they want is For us to live in fear How long can we hold on? Can we hold on? Hold on There’s something deep inside That keeps my faith alive When all you can do Is hide from the fear That’s deep inside of you Something, something, something Something, something, something To hold me close when I don’t know There’s something deep inside That keeps my faith alive We are healing But it’s killing us inside Can we take a chance? When faith and fear collide We can make it Step out and take it We can’t live feeling so numb How long can we hold on? Can we hold on? Hold on There’s something deep inside That keeps my faith alive When all you can do Is hide from the fear That’s deep inside of you Something, something, something Something, something, something To hold me close when I don’t know There’s something deep inside That keeps my faith alive (2x)
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 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
Imperfection

You’re worth so much It’ll never be enough To see what you have to give How beautiful you are Yet seem so far from everything You’re wanting to be You’re wanting to be Tears falling down again Tears falling down You fall to your knees You beg, you plead Can I be somebody else For all the times I hate myself? Your failures devour your heart In every hour, you’re drowning In your imperfection You mean so much That heaven would touch The face of humankind for you How special you are Revel in your day You’re fearfully and wonderfully made You’re wonderfully made Tears falling down again Come let the healing begin You fall to your knees You beg, you plead Can I be somebody else For all the times I hate myself? Your failures devour your heart In every hour, you’re drowning In your imperfection You’re worth so much So easily crushed Wanna be like everyone else No one escapes Every breath we take Dealing with our own skeletons, skeletons You fall to your knees You beg, you plead Can I be somebody else For all the times I hate myself? Your failures devour your heart In every hour, you’re drowning In your imperfection Won’t you believe, yeah Won’t you believe, yeah All the things I see in you You’re not the only one You’re not the only one Drowning in imperfection
