[Intro]
Lay my head on the pillow
Can't sleep, so I let the smoke billow
Inhale and exhale slow
Light another one, tryna let these demons go
Tryna let these demons go (Tryna, tryna)
Tryna let these demons go
Inhale and exhale slow
Light another one, tryna let these demons go

[Chorus 1]
You happy where you at?
Really think you where it's at?
You wonder what they think about you?
"Drop school for a dream? You a damn fool"
You happy where you at? (You happy where you at?)
Really think you where it's at? (Really think you where it's at?)
You wonder what they think about you?
"Drop school for the dream? You a damn fool"

[Bridge]
Wars goin' on inside my mind
Do this straight from the truth, or am I who lied?
Tough times got me lookin' up to God
Went and turned these dreams into all I got

[Verse 2]
Coulda locked down my mission forever more than twice
For worse or better, for future, I made the sacrifice
With the excuse if life could have me shinin' overnight
So deformed, love to leave, I feel it isn't right

[Chorus 2]
You happy where you at?
Really think you where it's at?
Inhale and exhale slow
Light another one, tryna let these demons
You wonder what they think about you?
"Drop school for a dream? You a damn fool"

[Bridge]
Wars goin' on inside my mind
Do this straight from the truth, or am I who lied? (Who lied)
Tough times got me lookin' up to God
Went and turned these dreams into all I got (All I got)

[Verse 2]
Stopped believing in friends who don't believe in me
Except for a few, think I'm lonely as I'm gon' ever be
But I know I'm the one who created it all
Heart locked up, I created the wall
Set the tone when headed up and created the falls
Got a closet full of threads you won't find at the mall
But I've been working too much to not stunt on 'em all
Threw the rest of my moola into the music
Now I'm still stuck here with no money for movin'?
So inhale and exhale slow
Light another one, tryna let these demons (Tryna let these demons)
Tryna let these demons go

[Bridge]
Tryna let these demons go
Tryna let these demons go
Tryna let these demons go
Tryna let these demons go

[Chorus 3]
Inhale and exhale slow
Tryna let these demons go
You wonder what they think about you?
"Drop school for a dream? You a damn fool"
Inhale and exhale slow
Tryna let these demons go

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.
