Surface Pressure

[00:01.10] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

[00:09.37] I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is

[00:12.10] I move mountains, I move churches

[00:17.36] And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

[00:20.12] I don't ask how hard the work is

[00:25.36] Got a rough, indestructible surface

[00:28.10] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

[00:30.87] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but

[00:33.37] Under the surface

[00:35.37] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

[00:39.11] Under the surface

[00:40.60] Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?

[00:44.09] Under the surface

[00:45.62] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service

[00:48.86] A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack

[00:51.88] That breaks the camel's back

[00:53.64] What breaks the camel's back? It's

[00:55.59] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, woah-oh

[00:59.38] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh

[01:04.62] Give it to your sister, your sister's older

[01:07.88] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

[01:10.86] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

[01:14.86] If I fall to

[01:16.36] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh

[01:21.10] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh

[01:26.60] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

[01:29.11] See if she can hang on a little longer

[01:31.85] Who am I if I can't carry it all?

[01:35.60] If I falter

[01:37.36] Under the surface

[01:39.36] I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us

[01:42.86] Under the surface

[01:44.38] The ship doesn't swerve, has it heard how big the iceberg is?

[01:48.10] Under the surface

[01:50.11] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?

[01:52.85] Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows

[01:56.61] You try to stop it topplin', but on and on it goes

[01:58.64] But wait, if I could shake, the crushing weight

[02:06.33] Of expectations, would that free some room up for joy

[02:10.11] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

[02:16.36] Instead, we measure this growing pressure

[02:21.36] Keeps growing, keep going, 'cause all we know is

[02:30.10] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah-oh

[02:35.86] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh

[02:41.11] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and

[02:43.87] See if she can handle every family burden

[02:46.35] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

[02:49.58] No mistakes, just

[02:53.61] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh

[02:57.62] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh

[03:03.13] Give it to your sister and never wonder

[03:06.11] If the same pressure would've pulled you under

[03:09.09] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

[03:12.63] No cracks, no breaks

[03:14.86] No mistakes!

[03:16.85] No pressure!
