Iu2019m the strong one, Iu2019m not nervous

Iu2019m as tough as the crust of the Earth is

I move mountains, I move churches

And I glow u2019cause I know what my worth is

I donu2019t ask how hard the work is

Got a rough, indestructible surface

Diamonds and platinum, I find u2019em, I flatten u2019em

I take what Iu2019m handed, I break whatu2019s demanded, but

Under the surface

I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

Under the surface

Was Hercules ever like, u201cYo, I donu2019t wanna fight Cerberusu201d?

Under the surface

Iu2019m pretty sure Iu2019m worthless if I canu2019t be of service

A flaw or a crack

The straw in the stack

That breaks the camelu2019s back

What breaks the camelu2019s back?

Itu2019s pressure like a drip, drip, drip, thatu2019ll never stop, whoa

Pressure thatu2019ll tip, tip, tip, u2019til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister, your sisteru2019s older

Give her all the heavy things we canu2019t shoulder

Who am I if I canu2019t run with the ball?

If I fold to

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it wonu2019t let go, whoa

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick, u2019til itu2019s ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister, your sisteru2019s stronger

See if she can hang on a little longer

Who am I if I canu2019t 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 doesnu2019t 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

u2018Cause all we know is

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, thatu2019ll never stop, whoa

Pressure thatu2019ll tip, tip, tip, u2019til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister, it doesnu2019t 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 wonu2019t let go, whoa

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick, u2019til itu2019s ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister and never wonder

If the same pressure wouldu2019ve pulled you under

Who am I if I donu2019t have what it takes?

No cracks, no breaks

No mistakes, no pressure
