Stay Awake

Sleep scratches at my eyelids
Tries to pull them shut
Body agrees with my head
But I want them all to shut up
I've got to fight this sleepiness
Got to stay awake
Fighting What my body wants
Causes my bed to shake
But I have to fight the sleep away
I have to keep awake
Otherwise the fight is useless
And everything will break
