Surface Pressure

Lyrics

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 pretty sure I'm worthless
 If I can't be of service
 A flaw or a crack
 A 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-oh
 Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop
 Whoa-oh-oh-oh
 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-oh
 Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow
 Whoa-oh-oh-oh
 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 somethin' 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 tumblin'
 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
 Whoa-oh
 Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop
 Whoa-oh-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
 Whoa-oh
 Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow
 Whoa-oh-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
