🎶🎶🎶

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 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 crack,
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back,
What break's the camel's back?

---

It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah...

Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just go pop! Woah-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, woah...

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to blow! Woah-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 something is gonna hurt us

Under the surface,
The ship doesn't swerve,
Has it heard how big the ice berg is?

Under the surface,
I think about my purpose,
Can I somehow preserve this?

Line up the dominos,
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 till 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 till 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...
