Surface Pressure
[00:06.44] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
[00:08.95] I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
[00:14.25] I move mountains, I move churches
[00:17.00] And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
[00:22.29] I don't ask how hard the work is
[00:25.06] Got a rough indestructible surface
[00:27.32] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
[00:30.08] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded
[00:32.60] But
[00:33.10] Under the surface
[00:34.60] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
[00:38.37] Under the surface
[00:40.13] Was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?
[00:43.89] Under the surface
[00:45.40] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
[00:48.92] A flaw or a crack
[00:50.18] The straw in the stack
[00:51.43] That breaks the camel's back
[00:52.44] What breaks the camel's back it's
[00:54.22] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
[00:59.52] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'till you just go pop, whoa
[01:04.80] Give it to your sister, your sister's older
[01:07.32] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
[01:10.10] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
[01:14.15] If I fall to
[01:15.65] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
[01:20.68] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa
[01:26.22] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
[01:28.73] See if she can hang on a little longer
[01:31.25] Who am I if I can't carry it all?
[01:34.77] If I falter
[01:37.04] Under the surface
[01:38.80] I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
[01:42.32] Under the surface
[01:44.08] The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
[01:47.60] Under the surface
[01:49.35] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
[01:52.87] Line up the dominoes
[01:54.14] A light wind blows
[01:55.40] You try to stop it tumbling
[01:56.65] But on and on it goes
[01:57.92] But wait
[01:59.95] If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
[02:06.99] Would that free some room up for joy
[02:10.75] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
[02:16.03] Instead we measure this growing pressure
[02:21.80] Keeps growing, keep going
[02:26.84] 'Cause all we know is
[02:30.10] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
[02:35.38] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
[02:40.65] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
[02:43.42] And see if she can handle every family burden
[02:45.93] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
[02:51.45] No mistakes just
[02:52.70] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
[02:57.98] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa
[03:03.50] Give it to your sister and never wonder
[03:06.01] If the same pressure would've pulled you under
[03:08.77] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
[03:12.29] No cracks, no breaks
[03:15.55] No mistakes, no pressure
