Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm the strong one
I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
[Verse 2]
I move mountains
I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
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?"
[PreChorus]
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?
[Chorus]
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till 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
[Chorus]
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till 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
[PreChorus]
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
Has it heard how big the iceberg is?
[PreChorus]
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 topplin' but on and on it goes, but wait
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
Keeps growing
Keep going
'Cause all we know is
[Chorus]
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till 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
[Chorus]
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
[Outro]
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes
No pressure
