Surface Pressure

[00:06.63] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
[00:09.48] I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is
[00:14.57] I move mountains, I move churches
[00:17.36] And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is
[00:22.59] I don't ask how hard the work is
[00:25.33] Got a rough indestructible surface
[00:27.87] Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
[00:30.16] I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but
[00:33.45] Under the surface
[00:34.53] I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
[00:38.65] Under the surface
[00:40.34] Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?"
[00:44.10] Under the surface
[00:45.56] I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
[00:48.97] A flaw or a crack
[00:50.31] The straw in the stack
[00:51.68] That breaks the camel's back
[00:52.85] What breaks the camel's back, it's
[00:54.31] Pressure, like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
[00:59.53] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa, oh, oh
[01:05.01] Give it to your sister, your sister's older
[01:07.97] Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
[01:10.49] Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
[01:14.59] If I fall to
[01:15.79] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
[01:21.22] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh
[01:26.43] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
[01:29.08] See if she can hang on a little longer
[01:31.65] Who am I if I can't carry it all?
[01:35.04] If I falter
[01:37.10] Under the surface
[01:38.69] I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
[01:42.72] Under the surface
[01:44.28] The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
[01:47.95] Under the surface
[01:49.52] I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
[01:52.81] Line up the dominoes
[01:54.22] A light wind blows
[01:55.49] You try to stop it tumbling
[01:57.07] But on and on it goes
[01:58.15] But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
[02:06.94] Would that free some room up for joy
[02:10.81] Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
[02:16.16] Instead, we measure this growing pressure
[02:22.00] Keeps growing, keep going
[02:27.28] 'Cause all we know is
[02:30.56] Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
[02:35.78] Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
[02:41.04] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and
[02:43.18] See if she can handle every family burden
[02:46.32] Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
[02:51.75] No mistakes, just
[02:53.36] Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
[02:58.51] Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh
[03:03.75] Give it to your sister and never wonder
[03:06.25] If the same pressure would've pulled you under
[03:08.83] Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
[03:12.48] No cracks, no breaks
[03:15.74] No mistakes, no pressure
[03:16.99]
