Tragedy Lyrics


I look around and see
All of these different places
And I can't help but think
All of these different facesHave made the same mistake
And got up and walked away
You'll never hear me say
It's time to walk awayWhy am I so afraid
When I've got nothing to fear?
How did it dissipate?
How did it all disappear?When I anticipate
This time I won't shed a tear
I let it resonate
For everybody to hearSomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at meSomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause every time that I try

It's such a tragedyIf I'm the opposition
Why can't I just back down?
So full of ammunition
That tries to shoot me downIn all this repetition
That's going 'round and 'round
Submit to my submission
Before I get shot downWhy am I so afraid
When I've got nothing to fear?
How did it dissipate?
How did it all disappear?When I anticipate
This time I won't shed a tear
I let it resonate
For everybody to hearSomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at meSomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause every time that I try
It's such a tragedy
It's such a tragedy'Cause all I see is somebody else
That's watching me, that's the enemy
And I know I can see the enemy
And I know I can see the enemySomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at meSomebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause every time that I try
It's such a tragedy
It's such a tragedy

1. Pillar is comprised of Rob Beckley (vocals), Lester Estelle Jr.(drums), Noah Henson (guitar), and Michael "Kalel" Wittig (bass). These Christian rockers with an alt-metal edge have been honing their infectious sound since 1998 while attending Ft. Hays State University in northwestern Kansas. A deal with Flicker was inked in 2000 after the band's self-released debut, Metamorphosis, impressed the label. Within months, Pillar followed things up with Above. Their first single, "Open Your Eyes," was popular on the college charts, earning Above nearly 60,000 in sales. Pillar also earned the Best Rock Band award at the annual Dove Awards in 2001.

A year later, Pillar relocated to Tulsa, OK, and released Fireproof. MCA picked up the band and reissued the energetic sophomore effort in 2003. However, MCA shut down shortly thereafter and Pillar returned to Flicker, and released their next album, Where Do We Go From Here, in 2004.

In 2005, Joey "Cinco" Avalos, formerly of Christian rock trio Justifide, was added as a second guitar player. He was never an official member of the band, and only played live shows. He no longer does, as he is playing in the newly started band "Stars Go Dim".

In Pillar's 2006 release, The Reckoning, the band stays true to their style while experimenting with new sounds. Pillar was nominated for the "Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album" Grammy with this album.

On Pillar's fifth album, For The Love Of The Game, frontman Rob Beckley says this:
“We get to say that we play rock ‘n roll for a living. We get to see lives changed. We have a renewed love and focus. With that in mind, making For the Love of the Game was very fun, and very fluent; it just came out. We went into the studio knowing what the album was going to be called and we were able to carry the vision through. We wanted to have a positive, bright, fun sounding record. That was our intent from the beginning. We trust that as people hear this record, God will use it to change lives. That’’s the ultimate fuel for our fire. When someone tells us, ‘‘your music changed my marriage, or brought me closer to God,’ that’s when we know God is using our music, and that’’s what it’s all about to us.” ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Written by MacKenzie Wilson and Abel Ringvold

Pillar's sixth album, "Confessions," was released on September 22, 2009, claiming to show an evolved style but at the same time sticking close to the formula developed in For The Love Of The Game.

2. Pillar was a band that consisted of Dave Walker, who would later on do vocals for Harvest and Krakatoa, and Justin Kane, who would go on to drum for Disembodied and Martyr AD. Not much is known of Pillar other then a demo released in 1993, which was produced by Cad Dziewior (Threadbare, 108, Judas Factor, etc.)
