Lyrics: Pillar. The Reckoning. Tragedy.

I look around and see
All of these different places
And I can't help but think
All of these different faces

Have made the same mistake
And got up and walked away
You'll never hear me say
It's time to walk away

Why 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 hear

Somebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at me

Somebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause every time that I try
It's such a tragedy

If I'm the opposition
Why can't I just back down?
So full of ammunition
That tries to shoot me down

In all this repetition
That's going 'round and 'round
Submit to my submission
Before I get shot down

Why 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 hear

Somebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at me

Somebody 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 enemy

Somebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy
Is staring back at me

Somebody tell me
How to save me from myself
'Cause every time that I try
It's such a tragedy
It's such a tragedy
