[Verse]
Used to dream 'bout this
Looking up to stars, steady plotting on a wish
This is how a heart breaks, this a hit made off a lotta missed takes
This a boy turned man through the music
This a grind five minds turned into a movement
This a blueprint to the top you can cruise with
Get you out your self doubt, make you wanna do shit
This a warm light to a dark night
Eyes on the town watching over like the Dark Knight
I got done wrong, so you know I had to do right
You know what I done, I ain't gotta set the mood twice
Out the town, to the city, from the city, overseas
Couldn't do this on my own, I knew I would need the team
Dreams get dreamt when the lights turn low
But the grass ain't green where the lights don't show
Seventeen, I was out for revenge, yes
I know I can never make amends, yes
I know I was standing at the edge, yes
But you don't know the meaning of depressed, yes
You're nobody till somebody lets you down
And you ain't ever gonna swim until they let you drown
Go from pieces on the ground to the peace you found
Record pieces of myself, this a piece right now

[Outro]
Twenty-two and I'm way more wise to the fact that the world makes plans that the mind can't hatch
No heart makes dreams work and time can't match
And I choose to be truth, nothing rhymes like
Said I'm twenty-two; way more wise to the fact that world makes plans that the mind can't hatch
No heart makes dreams work and time can't match
And I choose to be truth, nothing rhymes like that

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.
