"My Own Monster" Lyrics

I turn my head, there's nothing there
All I own is my thoughts for my fears
I close the door to keep out the bad
I plug my ears to keep out these fears
And I cry

So hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
Just hold, hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
Just hold me

I listen to these voices
Or is it this house that's giving me chills?
As I lie upon this little girls bed
Who's at the door, who's walking near?
Or has my imagination spilled?
This little girl all grown up still fears
Oh, and I cry

So hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
Just hold, hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
Just hold me

Where can I go, where can I hide
From these evil sufferings?
Oh, these images painted on my walls
They say there's a place that I can
Hide in the shadow of your wings
Oh, Lord, bring me to this place of refuge
No more tears

So hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired, tired and tired
Just hold, hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
And tired, and tired, and tired, and tired
Oh, so tired, and tired, tired, and tired

Just hold me, hold me close
For I'm so tired of holding myself
So very tired, and tired, tired, and tired
Just hold me, oh, oh
I am so tired
Oh Lord, I'm so tired
Oh, oh

Hold me, me, me
