I`m the strong one
I`m not nervous
I`m as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move mountains
I move churches
And I glow `cause I know what my worth is

I don`t ask how hard the work is
Got a rough, indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find `em, I flatten `em
I take what I`m handed,
I break what`s demanded, but

Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope
walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like
“Yo, I don`t wanna fight Cerberus”?
Under the surface
I`m prеtty sure I`m worthless
if I can`t be of sеrvice

A flaw or a crack
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel`s back
What breaks the camel`s back?

It`s pressure like a drip, drip,
drip, that`ll never stop, whoa
Pressure that`ll tip, tip, tip `til
you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Give it to your sister, your sister`s older
Give her all the heavy things we can`t shoulder
Who am I if I can`t run with the ball?
If I fall to

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
and it won`t let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick `til
it`s ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Give it to your sister, your sister`s stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can`t carry it all?
If I falter

Under the surface
I hide my nerves and it worsens,
I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn`t swerve as it heard
how big the iceberg is
Under the surface
I think about my purpose
Can I somehow preserve this?

Line up the dominoes
A light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling
But on and on it goes

But wait
If I could shake the crushing weight
Of expectations would that
free some room up for joy?
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
Instead we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going
`Cause all we know is

Pressure like a drip, drip,
drip that`ll never stop, woah
Pressure that`ll tip, tip, tip
`til you just go pop, woah-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn`t hurt and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes, just

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
and it won`t let go, woah
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick `til
it`s ready to blow, woah-oh-oh
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would`ve pulled you under
Who am I if I don`t have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes
No pressure
