The Void by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

The Void

The Void I had my last real-life conversation back in my infancy You might call this exegeration, but that's how it feels We praise it "modern communication" - let's face what it really is... ...a process of isolation in its infancy And this child will grow 'til it spits on our heads And we will drown - mybe not in spittle, but shure in regrets 'Cause of everyttime when we missed not to log in to the void There grows an already lost generation feeding itself with posts and tweets Growing fat from dumb-ass quotations... hunger for more they breed This fucked up blind elation they imbibe from there infancy I know I'm part of this whole const

Literature

A Place To Dance

A Place To Dance We are so close But still it seems so far away Too far to take your hand These loveless roles we have to play Because they won't understand our love Because they never felt it so close I hope someday we'll find a place where we can dance So close Yes someday we'll find a place to dance that close Closer than we felt it before Hand in hand When we are hidden from their eyes We kiss our pain away And as we get close I feel that I still want more of you End these lies before they turn into our truth I'll free our hearts from their chains Someday Hold me close Feel the rythm of our hearts Dance with me Take this oath That

Literature

Feeding The Thorns

Feeding The Thorns Step forward into your grave Lay your head to rest in this coffin The Result of decisions you made Buried beneath the path that you walk on Hard to realize that you’re going astray Crawl down this chosen way Hard to realize that you’re lost on this trail Seeds you sow grow to thorns You’re bleeding from Blood you spill turns to be Feeding the thorns Opportunities you just waste away Circle never ends - you aspire to mistakes Fingers digging through the ash and the dust Of the world that you have once lost and Searching hope, searching truth, searching trust Searching the things that y

Voiceless by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Voiceless

Voiceless I’m the crawling beneath your skin I’m the blood running through your veins I’m a parasite within, living from your silent screams I’m the Emptiness of your silent spoken words Voice inside cries all in vein Dreading truth I am your lie A paralyzed word inside A voiceless mind Beware Beware the things that tear at you But don’t let them be torn away from you Aware Be aware of you Your doubts will draw the dawn of truth I am your lie A paralyzed word inside A voiceless mind I’m the leech that sucks your soul I’m your fear, I’m your truth I’m the acid laving down your throat

Dawn Of Nemesis by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Dawn Of Nemesis

Dawn Of Nemesis Revealing light shines from your past Frail shades unfold your broken silhouette Find yourself hanging by a thread Empty hands hold the things that you’ve got left Your fate is sealed, inevitable – you reached a blind alley You buried thee, irretrievable – lost in this blind alley A moment of truth’s embrace is shattering your façade Your broken soul to unveil Through these confessing eyes you see the dawn of demise Spreading its blinding light Caught in these walls built to protect A life so cold born from your neglect These walls are closing in instead Shades now enfold your fallen silhouet

Echoes by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Echoes

Echoes Again you hide the essence of your words away from me Fading disguise – intension’s breathing comes to tear the veil Echoes betray you Spit out into my face You are to blind to see your fall from grace Spit out – lie to me Soon you will feel loneliness cold embrace Your words spread their revealing echoes That make me read between your lines They are reflecting your intension They’re like a mirror to your lie Grin and bear it Your cover is blown – I exposed your lie turn the tables I’ll break your back before you will stab mine, machinator Spit out into my face You are to blind to see your fall

Further Beyond - Reflections Part 3 by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Further Beyond - Reflections Part 3

Further Beyond – Reflections Part 3 Mirror stares into dead eyes A fragile mask covers decay of skin Resurrection of lies Fading away – My Soul is splintering Broken inside Living a lie Now I drown in the ocean Of the pieces my face falls into No way left to pretend No more illusions that I’d hold onto This heart made of iron starts to corrode Broken inside Living a lie The one who I have been is growing old Gone way to far I fall apart All hope is gone I come undone

Beyond The Surface - Reflections Part 2 by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Beyond The Surface - Reflections Part 2

Beyond The Surface – Reflections Part 2 I live behind these walls of lies protecting me It’s only a smile but not my mind that you can see You don’t know nothing about the agony I feel You just believe in what you see – mask of harmony Lost myself in this role I believe as blind as you do Lies are turning into the condition that I call truth Faking smiles Pain to hide Outside lives as inside dies Compromise Born from lies The mirror shows the face I hide Face to face with myself which I deny There’s no way of getting straight inside my mind Lost myself in this role I believe as blind as you do Lies are turni

Face - Reflections Part 1 by RobertGraefe, literature

Literature

Face - Reflections Part 1

Face - Reflections Part 1 Endless faint A homeless soul I breed I disappear from my own sight So afraid of facing up to myself Mirror displays a shape that turns up weak and pale Overstrained by things I find in me I burrow it all into pride Overwhelmed – within this shell I bleed Haunted by these wounds still breathing deep inside Tears are drawing scars upon my skin Why can’t I forget Fear forces me to fly with broken wings I just want to forget Forget the one who I have been – forget Forget the things I once found in me – forget So afraid of facing up to myself I thrust these memories of a portrait weak and pal

Literature

Love Letters On the Train

Dear Stranger, I'm leaving this post-it tucked in the side of the train-seat. If you're reading this, you've seen it. I've seen you sit here every few Monday mornings, sometimes tapping a bent, unlit cigarette against your thigh, sipping from your tea (who brings a tea cup onto a train anyway?); sometimes staring at the rain outside, or reading your well-worn, beaten copy of Jane Eyre (I hate that you fold the corners down - it's bibliophilic abuse. I wish the book would papercut you to defend itself a little, but I digress). You seemed so sad this Monday morning past. Please smile again. I love it when your eyes catch the light of something

The Walls of Unsaid by MakeShiftSoul, literature

Literature

The Walls of Unsaid

The Walls of Unsaid build and build and build upupup around us all; we kid ourselves, saying that the emptiness is filled. Something is always left dangling in the air. Something that wishes to be said isn't; no, you wouldn't dare. We all sit on the towers of unforgivable things that we've said are forgiven,forgotten; and our minds are torn apart like fragile wings. True words are whispered only in the darkest chasms of our minds, and the lies grow and squirm and fester, twisting and turning...what do we find? Simply that we've built our own labyrinths, with contradictions and things that aren't quite what they seem. We

My Bio

I love everything that is creative in some way. Art - and most of all music - is everything to me.

I am a song writer in different styles of music (acoustic, rock, pop, metal, progressive...). So I do compose music and write lyrics (some of those you can find in my gallery).

Besides music I love drawing.
I am also interested in seeing all kinds of art and in trying some myself.

COLLABORATE WITH ME...

If you are writing lyrics and want them to be used in a song, let me know about that and maybe we could work together. I have far too much music material to write lyrics for all these songs on my own...

Also I am interested in finding artists to work with. I would like to have some people of different kinds of art to come up with conceptual projects on different topics combining all these kinds of art - I would love to play the music part in such a collaboration.... So if you are interested: go ahead and send me a message and we will see where it takes us...
