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
Aku sing kuwat, aku ora gemeter
Aku kaya keras kaya lemah ndhuwur
Aku mindhah gunung, aku mindhah pasamuwan-pasamuwan
Lan aku cemlorot, 'amarga aku ngerti apa regane
Aku ora takon kepiye kerjane
Entuk permukaan sing atos, ora bisa dingerteni
Diamonds lan Platinum, aku golek, aku flatten 'em
Aku njupuk apa sing dakcepakake, aku nyingkirake apa sing dituntut, nanging
[Ayat 1]
Ing ngisor permukaan
Aku rumangsa berserk minangka walker sing kenceng ing sirkuit telung cincin
Ing ngisor permukaan
Apa Hercules kaya, "Yo, aku ora pengin nglawan Cerberus?"
Ing ngisor permukaan
Aku cukup manawa aku ora ana gunane yen ora bisa dadi layanan
[Pre-chorus]
Cacat utawa crack, jerami ing tumpukan
Sing ngilangi mburi unta
Apa sing mbobol mburi unta, iku
[Paduan Swara]
Tekanan kaya netes, netes, netes sing ora bakal mandheg, sapa
Meksa sing bakal tip, tip, tip 'til sampeyan mung pindhah pop, sapa-oh
Pasrah marang mbakyune, tuwa sampeyan wis tuwa
Wenehi kabeh barang sing ora bisa diramalake
Sapa aku yen ora bisa mbukak bal?
Yen aku tiba
Meksa kaya genggeman, genggeman, genggeman, lan ora bakal ngeculake, sapa wae
Meksa kaya tik, obah, tik, siap kanggo jotosan, sapa-oh
Pasrahake marang mbakyumah, adhine kuwat
Deleng manawa dheweke bisa nyumerepi sethithik luwih suwe
Sapa aku yen ora bisa nggawa kabeh?
Yen aku falter
[Ayat 2]
Ing ngisor permukaan
Aku ndhelikake syaraf lan luwih elek, aku kuwatir somethin 'arep natoni kita
Ing ngisor permukaan
Kapal kasebut ora ana, apa wis krungu apa gedhene es?
Ing ngisor permukaan
Aku mikir babagan tujuane, bisa uga aku bisa njaga iki?
Garis munggah domino, angin sing entheng
Sampeyan nyoba kanggo mungkasi tumbling, nanging terus
[Jembatan]
Nanging ngenteni, yen aku bisa goyangake bobote pangarepan
Bakal mbebasake sawetara kamar kanggo bungah
Utawa istirahat, utawa kesenengan sing gampang?
Nanging, kita ngukur tekanan sing tuwuh iki
Terus tuwuh, terus, 'nyebabake kabeh sing kita kenal
[Paduan Swara]
Tekanan kaya netes, netes, netes sing ora bakal mandheg, sapa
Meksa sing bakal tip, tip, tip 'til sampeyan mung pindhah pop, sapa-oh
Pasrahna marang mbakyune, ora babar pisan lan
Deleng manawa dheweke bisa ngatasi beban kulawarga
Nonton nalika dheweke nempel lan mbengkongake nanging ora nate ngilangi
Ora ana kesalahan, mung
Meksa kaya genggeman, genggeman, genggeman, lan ora bakal ngeculake, sapa wae
Meksa kaya tik, obah, tik, siap kanggo jotosan, sapa-oh
Pasrahake marang adhine lan ora mikir
Yen tekanan sing padha bakal ditarik sampeyan
Sapa aku yen ora duwe apa sing dibutuhake?
Ora ana retak, ora istirahat
Ora ana kesalahan, ora ana tekanan
