Radical Face - Dead Ends Lyrics






Hello, Hope, it's been a while
I thought I was damned to watch life through my hands
Now I'm not in the place I thought I'd be
Makes looking back a whole lot simpler

I thought that I could be the difference
I thought I could outsmart all the pain
But like life advice that's scrawled across a bathroom stall
It wasted everyone's time

So now I'm saying goodbye
And I'm learning to fend for myself
Now, we started playing with fire
Believing that it would just keep us warm
Well, there's no need to run
When you're traveling down the wrong road
No, yeah… there's no need to run
When you're traveling down the wrong road

Can't see the forest for the trees
Heard it plenty of times, but now I know what it means
If you hold too tight you're bound to lose
The very things you've decided are precious

Now I've learned I'm not so special
No need to carry all that weight
You don't have to ask if you're allowed to fall apart
So now I just say:

There ain't no fixing this, but I like that you tried
Sometimes the hardest part is being right
There ain't no helping me, but I like that you lied
Sometimes it's worth the burn marks to feel the light

And I don't wanna know why
I just want to know how to move on now
The past is buried in time
And the future's an anxious invention
Oh, and you never arrive
Unless you accept your dead ends
Yeah, you will never arrive
Unless you make peace with your dead ends

    This music feels like you are in a conversation with your buddy in a night with thousands of stars. And he know why you are in such a pain. You may not brilliant or talented but why you wouldn't try one more time. Who knows may be there is happiness beyond that wall but i think things gonna be a lot simpler when you accept your dead ends. By the way, teşekkür ederim.

  22. t.... ....

    god this week has been the worst in a while mentally and like. these songs? this ep so far? has been a life saver

  23. r.... ....

    This isn't news to anybody here...You all get it...otherwise you wouldn't be here...
    ...but I'm oddly compelled to sat it anyway...
    It's so refreshing and rare to hear real intelligence coupled with real musicality.

    T.... ....

    @Andrew Awed OMFG! We have to celebrate this xD

    T.... ....

    @Gustavo Pérezyes!! :) :) I have never seen a video reach 1000 likes without a dislike! Not even close

    T.... ....

    @Andrew Awed same here... It is really cool to see how people appreciates and reacts to what Ben does with his music

  25. S.... A....

    Thank you

  26. I.... C....

    there he is

  27. E.... D....

    Good God, this was beautiful. Wholly explains the majority of my adult life; thank you.

  28. n.... o....

    As someone with cPTSD / severe PTSD, all Ben’s songs really resonate with me. The songs on the Therapy EP are so powerful. I think SunnMoonnEclippse is my favorite EP in regard to that. But really, they’re all so healing.

    Ben could never make a bad song. :) He’s honestly iconic.

  29. K.... ....

    I've never been this early to one of your videos. idk what to do with my hands. God I love your music.

  30. M.... g....

    ist line ... and im in love already

  31. C.... ....

    at work on break and trying so fucking hard not to cry.

    I can relate to this so much, thank you Ben. you're a beautiful and brave soul, don't ever give up, we love you!

  32. N.... S....

    Beautiful and sad. It is sounds so pessimistic! You are a such Great Artist and this Will never be a Dead End. So inspiring! Keep doing your beautiful art for us! I know this feeling very well. No one can tell you how to find a way to exit,where to move on...but just start moving,a step behind another step...leaving the bad things of pur past gone forever..Until we stay lying in the dark the light can't find a way to reach us,just start moving.... Right now your music is the light that reached me,that I was looking for 'better days'😊

  33. L.... M....

    You are the greatest artist to come out in the last 10 years period! You fans that like this please listen to ( the trash can sinatra’s ) albums ( cake ) and ( I’ve seen everything ) also the band ( Belle and Sebastien) albums ( if your feeling sinister) and ( the boy with the Arab strap ) ....... enjoy

  34. T.... ....

    Great song, been a really good bunch of songs.

  35. e.... ....

    Nice, could have been on The Roots

  36. S.... s....
