"Surface Pressure"

[00:06.29] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

[00:09.18] I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is

[00:12.12] .

[00:14.39] I move mountains, I move churches

[00:17.05] And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

[00:20.20] .

[00:22.37] I don't ask how hard the work is

[00:24.99] Got a rough, indestructible surface

[00:27.55] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

[00:30.19] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but

[00:33.25] Under the surface

[00:34.36] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

[00:38.47] Under the surface

[00:40.14] Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?

[00:43.78] Under the surface

[00:45.45] I'm pretty surе I'm worthless if I can't be of servicе

[00:48.70] A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack

[00:51.59] That breaks the camel's back

[00:52.44] What breaks the camel's back? It's

[00:54.23] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, woah-oh

[00:59.54] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh

[01:04.85] Give it to your sister, your sister's older

[01:07.62] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

[01:10.14] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

[01:14.19] If I fall to

[01:15.58] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh

[01:20.98] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh

[01:26.28] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

[01:29.06] See if she can hang on a little longer

[01:31.46] Who am I if I can't carry it all?

[01:34.85] If I falter

[01:37.14] Under the surface

[01:38.54] I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us

[01:42.55] Under the surface

[01:44.08] The ship doesn't swerve, has it heard how big the iceberg is?

[01:47.88] Under the surface

[01:49.49] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?

[01:52.74] Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows

[01:55.64] You try to stop it topplin', but on and on it goes

[01:58.19] But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight

[02:05.20] Of expectations, would that free some room up for joy

[02:10.63] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

[02:15.90] Instead, we measure this growing pressure

[02:21.64] Keeps growing, keep going, 'cause all we know is

[02:30.24] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah-oh

[02:35.61] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh-oh

[02:40.89] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and

[02:43.41] See if she can handle every family burden

[02:46.23] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

[02:51.39] No mistakes, just

[02:53.04] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah-oh

[02:58.34] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh-oh

[03:03.63] Give it to your sister and never wonder

[03:06.14] If the same pressure would've pulled you under

[03:08.92] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

[03:12.20] No cracks, no breaks

[03:15.47] No mistakes!

[03:16.74] No pressure!
