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
Ek is die sterk een, ek is nie senuweeagtig nie
Ek is so taai soos die kors van die aarde is
Ek beweeg berge, ek beweeg kerke
En ek gloei, want ek weet wat my waarde is
Ek vra nie hoe hard die werk is nie
Het 'n rowwe, onvernietigbare oppervlak gekry
Diamante en platinum, ek vind dit, ek plat dit
Ek neem wat ek oorhandig, ek breek wat gevra word, maar
[Vers 1]
Onder die oppervlak
Ek voel Berserk as 'n stryd in 'n drie-ring-sirkus
Onder die oppervlak
Was Hercules ooit soos: 'Yo, ek wil nie teen Cerberus veg nie?'
Onder die oppervlak
Ek is redelik seker dat ek waardeloos is as ek nie van diens kan wees nie
[Pre-Chorus]
'N fout of 'n kraak, die strooi in die stapel
Dit breek die kameel se rug
Wat die kameel se rug breek, is dit
[Koor]
Druk soos 'n drup, drup, drup wat nooit sal stop nie, wie
Druk wat sal wip, wenk, tip 'Til jy net pop, wie-oh-oh
Gee dit aan jou suster, jou suster se ouer
Gee haar al die swaar dinge wat ons nie kan skouer nie
Wie is ek as ek nie met die bal kan hardloop nie?
As ek val op
Druk soos 'n greep, greep, greep, en dit sal nie loslaat nie, wie
Druk soos 'n regmerkie, merk, merk dit tot dit gereed is om te blaas, wie-oh-oh
Gee dit aan jou suster, jou suster is sterker
Kyk of sy 'n bietjie langer kan hang
Wie is ek as ek dit nie alles kan dra nie?
As ek wankel
[Vers 2]
Onder die oppervlak
Ek verberg my senuwees en dit vererger, ek is bekommerd dat ons ons sal seermaak
Onder die oppervlak
Die skip swaai nie, het dit gehoor hoe groot die ysberg is?
Onder die oppervlak
Ek dink aan my doel, kan ek dit op een of ander manier bewaar?
Sit die domino's in, 'n ligte wind waai
Jy probeer dit keer om te tuimel, maar aan en aan gaan dit
[Brug]
Maar wag, as ek die verpletterende gewig van verwagtinge kon skud
Sou dit 'n bietjie ruimte vir vreugde bevry
Of ontspanning, of eenvoudige plesier?
In plaas daarvan meet ons hierdie groeiende druk
Hou aan groei, hou aan, want al wat ons weet, is
[Koor]
Druk soos 'n drup, drup, drup wat nooit sal stop nie, wie
Druk wat sal wip, wenk, tip 'Til jy net pop, wie-oh-oh
Gee dit aan jou suster, dit maak nie seer nie en
Kyk of sy elke gesinslas kan hanteer
Kyk hoe sy buk en buig, maar nooit breek nie
Geen foute nie, net
Druk soos 'n greep, greep, greep, en dit sal nie loslaat nie, wie
Druk soos 'n regmerkie, merk, merk dit tot dit gereed is om te blaas, wie-oh-oh
Gee dit aan jou suster en wonder nooit
As dieselfde druk jou onder sou trek
Wie is ek as ek nie het wat nodig is nie?
Geen krake, geen pouses nie
Geen foute, geen druk nie
