Little Atlas Heavyweight
The Ex Lyrics

Sometimes I wake up with a headful of dust
Sometimes I wake up feeling unclear or unfocused.

Rust never sleeps, but sleep, does it rust
Just like rust never sleeps, the ability to sleep fades over time.

Every day I die from a different disease
Every day feels like a struggle with a new challenge.

I don't wanna smile the same old cheese
I don't want to fake happiness and put on a fake smile for others.

I don't wanna smell it, I don't wanna sell it
I don't want to participate in something that doesn't align with my values.

There's gotta be more that can put me at ease
I hope to find something that can help me feel more relaxed and content.

Sometimes I get hired
I sometimes get a job.

Sometimes I get fired
I sometimes lose my job.

And sometimes I crack
And sometimes I break under the pressure.

Well, sometimes I feel like I'd wish to fire back
I feel a desire to defend myself in certain situations.

Hell no, I didn't know, I didn't hear the news
I didn't have knowledge of what was being discussed.

Well no, I didn't go, I didn't know what to choose
I didn't have enough information to make a decision.

I had to save some whales, there's football on T.V.
I had other priorities at the time.

This time I'll send a check, I couldn't find my keys
I'll make up for it in a different way.

I guess I was too tired, my bike just had a flat
I had some unexpected challenges that interfered with my plans.

I didn't have the money, someone stole my hat
I had some financial setbacks and even some random problems.

I had to see the doctor's, not done yet with this mag
I had personal matters to attend to.

I thought you'd call me first, where did I leave my bag?
I had some miscommunications and I was forgetful at times.

I got struck in traffic, I couldn't get time off
I had external circumstances that were beyond my control.

Wasn't it tomorrow? I was hungry for a laugh
I was confused about the timing of events and needed a break.

Hell no, I didn't know, I didn't hear the news
I still didn't have knowledge of what was being discussed.

Well no, I didn't go, I didn't know what to choose
I still didn't have enough information to make a decision.

Sometimes I get hired
I sometimes get a job.

Sometimes I get fired
I sometimes lose my job.

And sometimes I crack
And sometimes I break under the pressure.

Well, sometimes I feel like I'd wish to fire back
I feel a desire to defend myself in certain situations.
