Jessica Darrow | 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

Jessica Darrow | 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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back, it's
[Chorus]
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-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
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-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
[Verse 2]
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, has 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-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
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-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
Jien dik b'saħħitha, jien mhux nervuż
Jien iebsa daqs il-qoxra tad-dinja
Nimxi muntanji, nimxi knejjes
U jien tiddi, għaliex naf x'inhu l-valur tiegħi
Ma nistaqsix kemm hu iebes ix-xogħol
Ghandek wiċċ mhux maħdum u indestructible
Djamanti u Platinum, insibhom, i flattenhom
Nieħu dak li jien mogħti, nikser dak li hu mitlub, imma
[Vers 1]
Taħt il-wiċċ
Inħossni berserk bħala walker tat-tightrope f'ċirku bi tliet ċrieki
Taħt il-wiċċ
Hercules qatt kien bħal, "Yo, ma rridx niġġieled lil Cerberus?"
Taħt il-wiċċ
Jien pjuttost ċert li ma jiswa xejn jekk ma nistax inkun ta 'servizz
[Qabel il-kor]
Difett jew xquq, it-tiben fil-munzell
Dak ikisser dahar il-ġemel
Dak li jkisser id-dahar tal-ġemel, huwa
[Kor]
Pressjoni bħal dripp, dripp, dripp li qatt ma jieqaf, whoa
Pressjoni li ser tinqata ', ponta, ponta' til int biss pop, whoa-oh-oh
Agħtiha lil oħtok, oħtok anzjana
Agħtiha l-affarijiet tqal kollha li ma nistgħux nagħmlu l-ispalla
Min jien jekk ma nistax niġri bil-ballun?
Jekk naqa 'għal
Pressjoni bħal qabda, qabda, qabda, u ma titlaqx, whoa
Pressjoni bħal qurdien, immarka, immarka sakemm tkun lesta biex tisplodi, whoa-oh-oh
Agħtiha lil oħtok, oħtok aktar b'saħħitha
Ara jekk hijiex tista 'tistrieħ fuq ftit itwal
Min jien jekk ma nistax inwettaq dan kollu?
Jekk naqas
[Vers 2]
Taħt il-wiċċ
Naħbi n-nervituri tiegħi u tmur għall-agħar, ninkwieta xi ħaġa se tweġġagħna
Taħt il-wiċċ
Il-vapur ma joħroġx, smajt kemm hu kbir il-iceberg?
Taħt il-wiċċ
Naħseb dwar l-iskop tiegħi, nista 'nippreserva dan?
Linja d-domino, daqqa ta 'riħ ħafif
Int tipprova twaqqafha tinżel, imma fuqha u tmur
[Pont]
Imma stenna, jekk nista 'nħawwad il-piż tat-tgħaffiġ tal-aspettattivi
Kieku teħles xi kamra għall-ferħ
Jew rilassament, jew pjaċir sempliċi?
Minflok, inkejlu din il-pressjoni dejjem tikber
Tibqa 'tikber, tibqa' għaddej, 'għaliex dak kollu li nafu huwa
[Kor]
Pressjoni bħal dripp, dripp, dripp li qatt ma jieqaf, whoa
Pressjoni li ser tinqata ', ponta, ponta' til int biss pop, whoa-oh-oh
Agħtiha lil oħtok, ma tweġġax u
Ara jekk tistax tieħu ħsieb kull piż tal-familja
Ara kif hi bokkli u tgħawweġ imma qatt ma tinkiser
L-ebda żbalji, biss
Pressjoni bħal qabda, qabda, qabda, u ma titlaqx, whoa
Pressjoni bħal qurdien, immarka, immarka sakemm tkun lesta biex tisplodi, whoa-oh-oh
Agħtiha lil oħtok u qatt ma tistaqsi
Kieku l-istess pressjoni tkun ġibdok taħt
Min jien jekk ma jkollix dak li hemm bżonn?
L-ebda xquq, l-ebda pawżi
L-ebda żbalji, l-ebda pressjoni
