[Chorus: RoZe]
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Like don't you know, man? Don't you know it's long gone?
Like don't you know? Like, don't you know it's all wrong?
She's all gone
And she ain't coming back
When she was needin' you, you should have been right there for that
Now she headed home (headed home)
You still all alone (all alone)
Shoulda hit her phone sooner, she ain't textin' back
Didn't have time for that (time for that)
You would choosin' rap (choosin' rap)
Made that decision, didn't listen, now you'll live with that
'Cause she was there for you
When everything was headed south
Came back and you weren't the man you used to be all about
Blinded by the lights and your teenage fantasy
Weren't living for now, you were living for how it 'bout to be
You were 'bout to live that rockstar life
She coulda been your rockstar wife
And now you sitting home all night
All because you didn't grasp what was in your sight

[Chorus: RoZe]
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Are you happy? No, really, are you now?
Figure out all the shit that had you tripping out?
Got so ready for the lights
And then you chickened out
Said you were all about your dreams, what the hell you talkin' 'bout?
Didn't move, didn't make moves in the place you were
Weren't igniting anything, waiting for it to occur
It'd be nice, but you know that success is not an open door
Sitting at that opening, not sure who you were waiting for
Gotta bust through like you don't care what lies behind it
'Cause if you weren't lookin', you know that you won't ever find it
Listen to you
I mean, you go back and rewind it
Play your own tapes back, remember why you're fuckin' grindin'
It's to inspire youth; to inspire truth
It's to inspire "make a living off of what is you"
I mean, you're really givin' when you're really givin' you
So you gon' go and get it
Don't look back at what you'll lose

[Chorus: RoZe]
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words
Another night slips away, in other words
I should say there are no words
You should say there are no words

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.
