[Chorus: Tamzene]
Oh, there is gold between us now
Someplace the broken can be found
If we are weakened on our own, this kind of love can make us strong
Oh, there is gold
Oh, there is gold between us now

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Know I'm all that I'm cracked up to be
Every time I was shattered, I had to be
Just to put all my pieces where they belong
The thing about holding on, it's the holding that'll make you strong
I know how it changed me, turned my trouble to fuel
I'd be lying if I said my fire don't outweigh my cool
Known to react with the quickness, watch the calm become a storm
I'm ashamed to all who witness the moment I transform
That's a coping mechanism probably picked up in my youth
No, I don't like confrontation, but I ramp up when I do
Reason that I vent on beats and stages, here's the truth
It starts to bubble up inside me 'til my mind becomes a noose
I'm not perfect with my methods, I've been broken past repair
But there's gold inside the cracks 'cause I learned how to really care
For those who were mistreated, half-defeated, I'm a voice
'Cause seeing beauty in the broken takes a mirror and a choice

[Chorus: Tamzene]
Oh, there is gold between us now
Someplace the broken can be found
If we are weakened on our own, this kind of love can make us strong
Oh, there is gold
Oh, there is gold between us now
Oh, there is gold
Gold between us now
Oh, there is gold
Gold between us now

[Post-Chorus: Tamzene & Abstract]
They told us that we were broken but those were the pieces that tell me to you
No one can say that they're perfect, I'd rather be broken, 'cause broken is true

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Know you been through things and you've got cracks you try to hide
Ways of coping you developed in an effort to survive
People who saw you as if you never were enough
People who made pain too synonymous with love
I see beauty in your broken, see the gold where you repaired
Sorry if I sometimes take your distance personal, I'm scared
That I'll lose you to the seasons, I got reasons of my own
Abandonment is stitched into the fabric of my bones
Not the best with patience, I've learned that you need your time
We got different ways of copin', different languages inside
Recently, I've taken time to get to learning doors
Far apart but close at heart so know that this is more than words
We're all a little broken but there's gold inside the cracks
Built us stronger than we were, I think we're finally built to last
The future that we're making off the trials of our past
This kind of love is a mosaic and only comes from broken glass

[Chorus: Tamzene]
Oh, there is gold between us now
Someplace the broken can be found
If we are weakened on our own, this kind of love can make us strong
Oh, there is gold
Oh, there is gold between us now
Oh, there is gold
Gold between us now
Oh, there is gold
Gold between us now

[Post-Chorus: Tamzene & Abstract]
They told us that we were broken but those were the pieces that tell me to you
No one can say that they're perfect, I'd rather be broken, 'cause broken is true

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.
