You Can't See The Forest For The Wolves...

It's been quite a while hasn't it?What can I say,the past few weeks have been hectic and as much as I try to have a life I can't.My mind's split up,I'm trying to save up cash to buy a few very important things but I can't have them all at one go.Jason Mraz's ticket,a proper acoustic guitar and cd spree.At the rate this is going however,I doubt I can get the tickets because they're selling like pancakes but I have a feeling there'll still be leftovers for the cheaper seats and I might just be desperate enough to actually attend it.If I can't get the tickets then I'll just have to make do with Fall Out Boy's and most probably,an acoustic because I need it badly.I'm feeling the acoustic vibes already and I can't wait to try out playing with a few people which I've narrowed my options to,hopefully the chemistry is there.

I guess having this side project is a good way for me to experiment with alot of my sound and the fact that I'm going to be back to roots of music.There is nothing wrong with playing mainstream and if ever I have a show,it'll be fun playing songs that people can sing out loud.I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out fine.Besides,this side project will mean I get to utilise more of my songs because I've not been able to use them for the band.Not because I'm selfish,I just find them unsuitable for the band.For example 12 Used To Be My Lucky Number,that has been and will always be one of my favourite songs written because the melody is strong and I thought it has enough to it but it's probably not the kind of songs that SavingSomeone is looking for.Well,it seems a better alternative too to play it acoustically,makes it sound way more radio-friendly.Some of the songs that got scrapped like Break Up Theory which I've renamed to The Closure will be fun to play on acoustic too.It seems like this side project will feature the B-sides of SavingSomeone,my unreleased originals and covers of my favourite bands.Plus,I get a bigger say in decision making,all I need now is a proper recording device and I'll be good to go.


And that passing figure,was nothing more than a passing stranger who enters suddenly and leaves just as quickly.Somewhere along the lines,he always knew something was amiss and he can sense that familiar feeling rushing towards him.Betrayed?No.Cheated?Maybe.Fair?Definitely,and he knows well enough that it wasn't his time.He accepted it wholeheartedly but he realised that he had lost belief in everything especially himself.But the story goes,because he is not the cowardly type.He'll take a bullet for the ones he care about and he knows one day,things will turn out brighter.He sits and waits patiently for that day to come.A withered leaf gracefully swayed from side to side in mid air,until it landed on his head.He held it and faced the heavens,"you can't see the forest for the wolves..."



Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe?

I've lost my innocence
If you see it around please tell it to call
(I can't stomach, my own stomach)
It can't tell me truths I need
When what I feel and what I see isn't even real
(What should I believe)

Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe

Television tells me one thing
Brain tells me something else
(Bullshit never had any intelligence)
War's a terror that we can do without
Small town thinkers will always wear you down
(Just don't look for the hidden meanings)

Give me something to believe in
Something that is real
A moment of reflection
What should I believe

Start with a voice, with some heart
(Something to believe)
End with a song in the light
(Something to believe)

Start with a voice, with some heart
(Something to believe)
End with a song in the light
(Something to believe)

Give me something to believe in
Give me something that is real
Give me something to believe in
Give me something that is real...
