About Artist
I am Crash. Or just Crash will do. That was a nickname I had as a kid so I've adopted it as an adult musical artist. Every time I entered a room something went "crash" so the story goes. I've been working on original material in my home studio for some time and thought I'd put it out here and see what happens.
More info to come later.
Lyrics to The Art of Distraction, Dangerous and Living in the Gray
The art of distraction
The thoughts are racing faster by the hour
The tricky little fix keeps draining my power
All I want to be
I can’t seem to focus on the task in front of me
Keep me away from the things I don’t want to see
I don’t want to see
I need another pill or another challenge
My mind goes numb and loses traction
Divert the focus of my reaction
Away from the insane inaction
To keep myself from falling in fractions
I’m practicing the art, the art, the art of distraction
The battle has begun
Both sides are being warned
Each side is convinced
The other one is wrong
Of what there is to do
This is the conflict of what’s been killing you
I need another thrill or another passion
Brigades of conflict are called into action
The war from within needs time for passing
Turn the focus to another action
The boredom of the moment
Seems to be lacking
I’m practicing the art, the art, the art of distraction
Can I keep from falling down
Running in circles till I hit the ground
Convert my attention with a brand new sound
Here I go again the focus has been lost
Will I even know what will be the cost
Always a price to pay, tomorrow or today, I’ve always got to pay
I need another pill or another challenge
My mind goes numb and loses traction
Divert the focus of my reaction
Away from the insane inaction
To keep myself from falling in fractions
I’m practicing the art, the art, the art of distraction
the art of distraction
the art of distraction
Dangerous
Did anyone ever say out loud
You’re too smart for your own good?
A wizard of words a bundle of nerves
You’re ten miles out in the woods
In evaluation of yourself
No fault can be found
Look for approval from another
You won’t hear god damn sound
You read the book, you wrote the hook
You wanted to take another look
Look at how much effort it took
To make it here before you’re cooked
Chorus
You know enough to be dangerous
To yourself and the world
Living so precarious
Your whole life is a blur
Common sense escapes you now
Confusion is the common ground
Awake but sleeping in your mind
Over and over you like to grind
Please don’t hurt yourself or another
Complacency is the Devil’s mother
Keep it simple in your heart
Your feet on earth a brand new start
You tripped on some idea
That you thought was good
You sit here in a state of chaos
Your head is like wood
Advice is only as good as the speaker
Heed it not and you become weaker
The sort of thing that keeps you down
Keep acting like this you won’t be around
I wish you all the best in life
All the things you never got
At some point you may realize
You’re not as smart as you thought
Chorus
You know enough to be dangerous
To yourself and the world
Living so precarious
Your whole life is a blur
Common sense escapes you now
Confusion is the common ground
Awake but sleeping in your mind
Over and over you like to grind
Please don’t hurt yourself or another
Complacency is the Devil’s mother
Keep it simple in your heart
Your feet on earth a brand new start
Living in the gray
Other than ordinary
Was how you wanted me
Too much pressure
for an average guy like me
Living in extremes
is where I go insane
Living in the gray
is living just for today
Chorus
Tomorrow’s not enough
Let’s control yesterday
How come it’s so hard
To have control of today?
Living in the now
Living for today
It’s all so simple
Try living in the gray
Trying to get too high
Trying to stay too low
Somewhere in the middle
Is where I want to go
She said her life was peace
She had serenity
This I learned form her
Gray was where she would be
Chorus
Tomorrow’s not enough
Let’s control yesterday
How come it’s so hard
To have control of today?
Living in the now
Living for today
It’s all so simple
Try living in the gray
If you want to be the best
If you want to be on top
Some where in the middle
Is where you have to start
Perfect balance on a wire
Blended black on white
Seeing through the dark
Is having second sight
Chorus
Tomorrow’s not enough
Let’s control yesterday
How come it’s so hard
To have control of today?
Living in the now
Living for today
It’s all so simple
Living in the gray
Chorus
Tomorrow’s not enough
Let’s control yesterday
How come it’s so hard
To have control of today?
Living in the now
Living for today
It’s all so simple
When your living in the gray
