[Chorus]
Thoughts invade your mind
Paint the worst of endings
Logic left behind
No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination
Dark side of your imagination

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Paint it as dark and dreary as it could get
Every negative memory and scar in your chest
Hard to trust when trust is certain to rust
'Cause you got a history with your mountains turnin' to dust
Sandcastles out of quicksand, what do we expect?
All we need's our own hands to lift us out of all the stress
Love the expectations 'cause a high is in effect
When the ones we put on others don't go under and they're met
In every way that we imagined so it's tragic when they're not
Me, I might go manic when it wasn't what I thought
"My life is what I made it," that's a false sense of control
Can't control others' rotations through their phases so I roll
Up my ruminations with the worst 'cause I was told
My greatest gift's my greatest curse, imagination takes its toll

[Chorus]
Thoughts invade your mind
Paint the worst of endings
Logic left behind
No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination
Dark side of your imagination

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I done came up with visions I turned into fruition
I done had my darkest nights turn my mind to a prison
I done turned to my closest, found out no one would listen
Create a fiction of who I wanted to see
And believed it 'til they showed me that's just a product of me
Never was the version that I wanted them to be
So I rewrote every memory 'til they fit in my scene
False idols, false love, that's false prophets
Blindsided, blind love ripped out my sockets
Just so I could live where the love ain't reciprocated
And that's just like playin' god, and playin' god can be dangerous
Am I the last of the real? The last who wants to feel?
Last who wants to be happy off something less than a mill'?
I'm twenty-six and sick of games, been givin' and feelin' drained
So is it so bizarre that I'd rather live in my brain?

[Chorus]
Thoughts invade your mind
Paint the worst of endings
Logic left behind
No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination
Dark side of your imagination

Abstract

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.
