Exhausted

From this angle
I can already tell tomorrow
Will be just as long as today
I'm afraid to blink
I might open and find tomorrow
Staring me in the face
Exhausted as I am I hold on to tonight
I don't want to fall asleep yet
I don't want to fall
Sunrise warms the pillowcase
I feel the warmth of your imbrace
I long to linger in this place

But you say
I must get up, I must push on
I must succeed, I must push on
I must get up, I must push on
Must push on
Sleep is my only escape
It's my only escape
From this endless rat-wheel called life

Somehow my weary eyes
Being held open
Will prolong that moment in the night
