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 uh uh
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 uh uh
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 woah
Pressure that`ll tip tip
Tip `til you just go pop woah 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 woah
Pressure like a tick tick tick
`Til it`s ready to blow woah 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?
No cracks no breaks
No mistakes
No pressure
