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
