First, I would like to apologize for my unexpressive and repetitive posts. I've been writing a lot of lyrics lately and haven't really had time to write a full post. Anyways hope you can endure just one more-
Hello nobody,
hello sweet lovers,
hello mr. lost hope,
hello miss needs,
hello good deeds
hello secret failure
hello passengers of everyday
what do you do when your lost in a crowd
pushing shoving finding your way
but nobody's searching and nothing is found
all of everything doesn't mean anything at all
so who's going to catch you when the world starts to fall
hardly hardly
smiling
hardly hardly
sleeping
breathing
hardly hardly
why is it so hard,
this everything.
Hello passengers of everyday.
I'm here to stay,
I'm here to stay..
They passed by, without a glance, without a chance. They were the passengers of yesterday. So who will you be today? Will you look with eyes clear at those you hold dear? Or will you find the lost soul, the fateless one, the woman with the crooked smile that looked at you strangley as you passed her in the subway, the man with one shoe missing and a mess of white tangled hair laying clumsily on his head, the boy who dropped a penny and didn't notice, the elderly woman wearing a bright purple hat, the teenager sitting by himself on a park bench leafing through a parenting magazine, the girl with the long dark hair who looked like she could be a movie star, and then there's that person who's in way too much of a hurry to notice that woman, that man, that boy, that teenager, that girl, who goes on their way through the chaos of a busy day. Too many busy days, too many wasted ways. Too many rushed goodbyes, too many covered lies. Seeing a human and being human is the fastest way to lose sight of what it means to be the same human as the human you see. And seeing the human and overlooking what human was, makes you forget what human could be and what human should be and will be. We are all humans but we don't have to be human,
just look and you'll find another way,
because we're the passengers of everyday.

"A human being is a part of a whole. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty"
-Albert Einstein
