I'm in my bed wide awake,
     fighting demons my body wants but my heart hates.

If I open my eyes 
     they're at my fingertips, ready to destroy me.

If I close my eyes
     they play a movie of all the things I've done.

I don't want to close my eyes
     because I'm afraid of what I'll see.

I don't want to open my eyes,
     but that pain is easier to bear.  --Rhyme this line with "because...see" for a cool effect.  I think you'll like the way it sounds

So no matter what I do,
     I can't close my eyes.  --This is a bit flat of an ending.  You could change this to be more poignant.  If they're really demons in your mind, you should highlight the exasperation and desperation you have to get rid of them.  Its dark, but consider a suicide motif or self mutilation one;  tearing out your eyes with a knife would highlight just how gruesome the memories are.
