Surface Pressure

[00:06.41] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

[00:09.07] I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is

[00:14.12] I move mountains, I move churches

[00:17.31] And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

[00:22.36] I don't ask how hard the work is

[00:25.27] Got a rough indestructible surface

[00:27.67] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

[00:30.35] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded

[00:32.74] But under the surface, I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

[00:38.62] Under the surface, was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?"

[00:43.93] Under the surface, I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service

[00:48.97] A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack

[00:51.63] That breaks the camel's back, what breaks the camel's back?

[00:54.02] It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

[00:59.61] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa, oh, oh

[01:04.98] Give it to your sister, your sister's older

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

[01:10.00] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

[01:14.26] If I fall to

[01:15.85] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

[01:21.18] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh

[01:26.21] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

[01:29.14] See if she can hang on a little longer

[01:31.53] Who am I if I can't carry it all?

[01:34.97] If I falter

[01:37.12] Under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us

[01:42.68] Under the surface, the ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is

[01:48.00] Under the surface, I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?

[01:52.78] Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows

[01:55.45] You try to stop it tumbling, but on and on, it goes

[01:58.90] But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight of expectations

[02:06.62] Would that free some room up for joy or relaxation, or simple pleasure?

[02:15.92] Instead, we measure this growing pressure

[02:21.77] Keeps growing, keep going

[02:27.10] 'Cause all we know is

[02:30.57] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

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

[02:40.91] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and

[02:43.56] See if she can handle every family burden

[02:46.23] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes

[02:52.63] Just pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

[02:58.48] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh

[03:03.55] Give it to your sister and never wonder

[03:06.20] If the same pressure would've pulled you under

[03:08.86] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

[03:12.32] No cracks, no breaks

[03:15.77] No mistakes, no pressure
