[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]
All these grains of sand
Keep slipping through our hands
'Cause time waits for no man
We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Humans quest to be infinite, used to write it on walls
Used to write it with charcoal and paint the legends for all
Tell our stories through symbols, chisel it deep in the rock
Been doing it since we were barely able to talk
Clothe our heroes in gold who left our enemies slain
Made legends larger than life so we'd remember the names
Paint the battles of old with a quill on a page
Just to tell the hero's story in whatever the age
Monuments constructed by thousands all for a king
Statues made to honor the scholars for how they think
Churches been erected as a testament to faith
Paint been laid to canvas to commemorate who overcame
We all tryna leave something that's bigger than us
Something so big nobody can touch
Something so real they commemorate us
Something that lives on after life leaves us, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]
All these grains of sand
Keep slipping through our hands
'Cause time waits for no man
We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Mortality a scary thing to think about
Look to science, look to God with reliance 'til the lights go out
Not sure how it started, how could we know how it ends?
Are there levels to reality, and if so, does it bend?
Are there ways to see the next from which our current one suspends?
Or are we just as finite as the ink in my pen?
Live our lives 'til it's drained, hope our stories live again
Commemorate our loved ones, leave our legacy to friends
Might be that uncertainty that makes us want to live
The most human act of questioning the fact we question it
The fact we get to observe that we observe is a trip
A mirror in a mirror wondering what a mirror is
Time provides an urgency to all that does exist
Best we use it wisely 'cause the promised might be myth
And what we leave behind might be draped in immortality
Centuries from now living here within an MP3

[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]
All these grains of sand
Keep slipping through our hands
'Cause time waits for no man
We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands
We're all sands

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.
