    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poetic lyrics written by Dexter Lives.

    "In a broken world full of chaos, and evil's what prevails. most everyone is smoke em peace pipe, but no one seems to inhale. Well life is yours for the taking, after you've been raked through the coals. Once reduced to ashes, we are all lost souls".

These lyrics in this book were all written in the 1990s. Real, raw, emotional, and personal."LOST SOULS" - "SUFFER NOW REST LATER" - "MEMENTO-MORI" - "SILENT ASSASSIN" - "YOUR DAY IS A COMETH" - "POOR ME" - DESTRUCTION OF THE MIND A DEAD MAN WALKIN" - "THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK" - "IN THE YEAR 2000" - "FORGIVEN OR FORGOTTEN" - "SELF INFLICTED PAIN" - "THE WAR WITHIN" - and many more! If you are a lover of real lyrics, fueled by real life situations, and emotions, and never intended to tickle the ears of the mundane masses. Then this book is for you.

      Why I can finally STOP WORRYING

      Apr 1, 2021

      Last summer, I bought some dungarees. This is hardly news in itself. They were everywhere. Cute, comfortable, comforting in the chaos of a pandemic. But I had a big – biiiig – birthday coming up in a few months. Could I carry them off? And then came

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Mar 4, 2023

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      Fork In The Road - Dexter Lives

      DOTMADMW

      VSI – I am an evil genius,

      that’s what I was bred to be.

      On the contrary,

      to what you think of me.

      I was born to die young,

      oh well I’ve had a good run,

      a good run.

      What people call pain and suffering,

      I call having fun.

      VSII – Common sense will tell you

      to stop the madness.

      But deep down inside

      you enjoy the sadness.

      You’ve thrown yourself in the lion’s den,

      and you’re a raw piece of meat.

      You fell head over heels in lust with evil,

      and evil swept you off your feet.

      Chorus – Destruction of the mind.

      There is a dead man walking.

      They say that love is blind.

      But there is no love in stalking.

      It’s not fair and it’s unkind.

      Your body they are already chalking.

      Destruction of the mind.

      There is a dead man walking.

      VSIII – So you want to be a rock star?

      And live life in the fast lane?

      Shoot up!

      Smoke blunts!

      Laced with cocaine.

      O.D. on Jim Beam

      and triptane.

      Now you’re wondering why

      you walk around with chest pain.

      Bud in the water,

      live life in squaller.

      Just like your father.

      And yet you’re still shoveling up snow

      with credit cards and dollars.

      When the cat is gone,

      I guess the mice will play.

      You didn’t sell your soul to the devil

      you gave it away.

      End

      LOST SOULS

      Intro – In a broken world full of chaos,

      and evil’s what prevails.

      Most everyone is smoke um piece pipe,

      but no one seems to inhale.

      Well life is yours for the taking,

      after you’ve been raked through the coals.

      Once reduced to ashes,

      we are all lost souls.

      VSI – Your brittle bones are breaking.

      Your mal nutritioned shaking.

      What a rude awakening.

      The hole in your soul is gaping.

      You may ask yourself why?

      Why even try?

      Once you discover the truth,

      it automatically exposes the lie.

      Chorus – You can spend your whole life searching,

      and still may never find.

      What stands right in front of you,

      is it out of sight or out of mind?

      I know it’s hard to concentrate,

      after you’ve castrated your senses,

      instead of counting all your blessings;

      you were too busy swinging for the fences.

      In a broken
