[Chorus]
I am done (Serious)
Smoking gun
We've lost it all
The love is gone
I am done
Smoking gun
We've lost it all
The love is gone

[Verse 1]
Smoke it down to the field
To try to pretend that I don't feel her
Her heart's still pushin' through my veins
So really what I gotta go here for?
Standing on the stage, askin' what I'm really here for, what I'm here for
Was it really just to feel tall?
After you left and I lost it all
Who do I call? Where do I run?
After the fall, the damage is done
And hell through my heart, except on my lungs
All for my help, the plasters, the fun
Thinkin' of not even livin' no more
Would I get through? I just wasn't sure
Whenever a tragedy hits, I think of our split
And realize it ain't toppin' it
'Cause when it was over, somethin' that died
The rivers are cried, the love that had lied
Nothin' can top how it kill me inside
Hopin' a bottle, drownin' alive
Ain't nothin' work, believe me, I tried
Picked up a pen and I started to write
Words help me breathe and commit back to life
But it's almost a year, still ain't feelin' right

[Bridge]
Still ain't feelin' right
You pass through my dreams
You said they were alright
Is it a sign? I don't know
Is this where we're supposed to go?
I don't know

[Chorus]
I am done (I am so gone)
Smoking gun (smoking so good)
We've lost it all (we lost it all)
The love is gone (love is so gone)
I am done (you know I'm gone)
Smoking gun (smoked it so good)
We've lost it all (lost it all)
The love is gone (is this what you want?)

[Verse 2]
The love, the pain
The summers, the rain
To fuck with my brain
Is that why you came?
When you parted my heart and had me insane
We claimin' some things we never should say
Those words pushed us so far away
To the point that I can't even stand you today
Fuck sleepin' at night, fuck makin' it right
You livin' a lie, and your lies ain't right
You tellin' me you hope I'm alright
Live in a lie so your truth feels right
No, not quite; your true fight
Not against me, not against us
Against the people you think that you trust
I thought I could help
I thought I could help make light of ourselves
Put our past on the shelves
But I finally see, you're the one who needs help

[Chorus]
I am done (I am so gone)
Smoking gun (smoking so good)
We've lost it all (we lost it all)
The love is gone (love is so gone)
I am done (I am so gone)
Smoking gun (smoking so good)
We've lost it all (lost it all)
The love is gone (this is what I want)
(Serious)

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
