I've Been Sleeping
Stephen Sandoval, NYC
April 2, 2006

I've been sleeping so long that I almost forgot,
I almost forgot what it felt like to be awake.

You came along and challenged me to think differently.
Here I am up against my habitual nature.

I'm running scared at times, but I think it's for the best.
Man it's not easy to stand up for your convictions.

I'm enjoying my new state of mind these days.
The state of mind that says I want more than sleep.
