Surface Pressure

[00:07.09] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

[00:09.34] I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is

[00:14.84] I move mountains, I move churches

[00:17.34] And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is

[00:23.09] I don't ask how hard the work is

[00:25.34] Got a rough indestructible surface

[00:27.84] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

[00:30.59] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanding

[00:33.09] But

[00:33.59] Under the surface

[00:35.10] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

[00:38.84] Under the surface

[00:40.59] Was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?

[00:44.09] Under the surface

[00:45.84] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service

[00:49.35] A flaw or a crack

[00:50.59] The straw in the stack

[00:51.84] That breaks the camel's back

[00:53.09] What breaks the camel's back it's

[00:54.34] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

[01:00.09] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'till you just go pop, whoa

[01:05.34] Give it to your sister, your sister's older

[01:07.84] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

[01:10.59] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

[01:14.85] If I fall to

[01:16.09] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa

[01:21.34] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa

[01:26.85] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

[01:29.34] See if she can hang on a little longer

[01:31.84] Who am I if I can't carry it all?

[01:35.84] If I falter

[01:37.59] Under the surface

[01:38.84] I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us

[01:42.84] Under the surface

[01:44.83] The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is

[01:48.34] Under the surface

[01:49.84] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?

[01:53.35] Line up the dominoes

[01:54.60] A light wind blows

[01:56.09] You try to stop it tumbling

[01:57.09] But on and on it goes

[01:58.84] But wait

[02:00.59] If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations

[02:07.59] Would that free some room up for joy

[02:11.09] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

[02:18.10] Instead we measure this growing pressure

[02:23.34] Keeps growing, keep going

[02:28.09] 'Cause all we know is

[02:30.85] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

[02:36.09] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh

[02:41.59] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt

[02:44.09] And see if she can handle every family burden

[02:46.60] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

[02:52.09] No mistakes just

[02:53.59] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, woah

[02:58.84] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'till it's ready to blow, woah

[03:04.08] Give it to your sister and never wonder

[03:06.59] If the same pressure would've pulled you under

[03:09.34] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

[03:12.85] No cracks, no breaks

[03:16.10] No mistakes, no pressure
