I'm the strong one
I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is
I move mountains
I move churches
And I glow
Cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum
I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed
I break what's demanded
But under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker
In a Three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like
"Yo, I don't wanna Fight Cerberus?"
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless
If I can't be of service
A flaw or a crack
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back?
It's pressure like a
Drip, drip, drip that'll never stop
Whoa
Pressure that'll
Tip, tip, tip 'til you just go Pop
Whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister
Your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things
We can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a
Grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go
Whoa
Pressure like a
Tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow
Whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister
Your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Under the surface
I hide my nerves and it worsens
I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
Under the surface
I think about my purpose
Can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes
A light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling
But on and on, it goes
But wait
If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy or relaxation
Or simple pleasure?
Instead
We measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing
Keep going
Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop
Whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop
Whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister
It doesn't hurt and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes
Just pressure like a
Grip, grip, grip, and it Won't let go
Whoa
Pressure like a
Tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow,
