[Verse 1]
Yeah, girl, you could be my new obsession
Where Heaven is, think you fell from that direction
Don't stress this, but I guess this feelin' so right
If it's wrong, then please don't correct it
Been solo, but you can be my hit, girl
You know, no Jason Derulo
I been chasin', got me lookin' like a fool though
Time's wastin', but I waste it on you though
Yeah, this is the way I feel
Don't wanna hit it and quit it, that ain't my deal
On my mind like [the fitted?], if you with it, come chill
Ain't in it to be in it, been kinda been lookin' to build
Somethin' I ain't had in awhile, someone real
For someone like her, yeah, baby, I would kill
Got a hole that's inside me that I'm tryna fill
Every girl in my world look at her, ain't chill
Lookin' for replacements, yes, that's my deal
Onto the next thing, ain't findin' better
'Bout to be a king, so I need my Coretta
Once upon a time, thought I had her forever
Now the throne got me so alone
'Cause they say the perfect road is a lonely one
If I said it's all that it seems, then I'd be wrong
But this trains on this tracks, so we move along

[Chorus]
Got dreams of my future (future)
Got nightmares of my past (my past)
Time is slippin', got me caught inside the hourglass (yeah)
Damn, I'm seein' you (you)
You're reflectin' her (her)
Tryna find what gave me fire for this frozen world

[Verse 2]
Bigger every day, like Mario on mushrooms
They say I'm so hot, "nobody can touch you"
Tunnel through the underground, 'bout to go and bust through
Stare in the mirror, like, "Can I even trust you?"
'Cause it's a crazy game
Know my fan feel pain if I don't hit where I aimed
Got to prove to my mother that I'm down for the change
Get to them, livin' life, pictures page by page
I look at life like a cubicle's a cage
And livin' that life like livin' in chains
Is that really what freedom is?
Those vicious ass kids, they were feedin' this?
I don't think that's true
I'm meant to be livin' like me, not you
But teachin' the youth truth really all I can do
'Cause those tryna live dreams, slim, the few

[Chorus]
Got dreams of my future (future)
Got nightmares of my past (my past)
Time is slippin', got me caught inside the hourglass (yeah)
Damn, I'm seein' you (you)
You're reflectin' her (her)
Tryna find what gave me fire for this frozen world
Got dreams of my future (future)
Got nightmares of my past (my past)
Time is slippin', got me caught inside the hourglass (yeah)
Damn, I'm seein' you (you)
You're reflectin' her (her)
Tryna find what gave me fire for this frozen world

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.
