Surface Pressure

[00:09.69] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

[00:11.20] I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is

[00:16.46] I move mountains, I move churches

[00:19.22] And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

[00:23.98] I don't ask how hard the work is

[00:27.24] Got a rough, indestructible surface

[00:29.74] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

[00:32.25] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but

[00:35.26] Under the surface

[00:36.51] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

[00:40.51] Under the surface

[00:41.77] Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?

[00:46.03] Under the surface

[00:47.28] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service

[00:51.06] A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack

[00:53.57] That breaks the camel's back

[00:54.82] What breaks the camel's back? It's

[00:56.58] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa-oh

[01:01.59] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[01:07.36] Give it to your sister, your sister's older

[01:10.12] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

[01:12.62] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

[01:16.63] If I fall to

[01:17.88] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa-oh

[01:23.41] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[01:28.67] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

[01:31.17] See if she can hang on a little longer

[01:33.93] Who am I if I can't carry it all?

[01:37.44] If I falter

[01:39.44] Under the surface

[01:40.70] I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us

[01:44.71] Under the surface

[01:46.21] The ship doesn't swerve, has it heard how big the iceberg is?

[01:49.97] Under the surface

[01:51.47] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?

[01:54.98] Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows

[01:57.99] You try to stop it topplin', but on and on it goes

[02:00.49] But wait, if I could shake, the crushing weight

[02:07.26] Of expectations, would that free some room up for joy

[02:12.53] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

[02:17.54] Instead, we measure this growing pressure (pressure)

[02:23.55] Keeps growing (pressure), keep going (pressure), 'cause all we know is

[02:33.32] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa-oh

[02:37.33] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[02:43.09] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and

[02:45.85] See if she can handle every family burden

[02:48.36] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

[02:53.11] No mistakes, just

[02:55.12] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa-oh

[03:00.13] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[03:05.64] Give it to your sister and never wonder

[03:08.40] If the same pressure would've pulled you under

[03:11.15] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

[03:14.41] No cracks, no breaks

[03:17.92] No mistakes!

[03:18.92] No pressure!
