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
Is mise am fear làidir, chan eil mi nearbhasach
Tha mi cho duilich oir tha rùsg na Talmhainn
Bidh mi a 'gluasad bheanntan, bidh mi a' gluasad eaglaisean
Agus tha mi a 'deàrrsadh,' ag adhbhrachadh gu bheil fios agam dè as fhiach agam
Chan eil mi a 'faighneachd cho cruaidh sa tha an obair
Fhuair uachdar garbh, neo-thuigeach
Daoimeanan agus plataum, lorg mi 'em, i flatten' em
Gabhaidh mi na tha mi air mo thoirt a-mach, bidh mi a 'briseadh na tha ag iarraidh, ach
[Rann 1]
Fon uachdar
Tha mi a 'faireachdainn Borsek mar neach-coiseachd teann ann an siorcas trì-ring
Fon uachdar
An robh luibhean a-riamh dèidheil air, "yo, chan eil mi airson sabaid cerberus?"
Fon uachdar
Tha mi gu math cinnteach gu bheil mi gun luach mura h-urrainn dhomh a bhith na sheirbheis
[Ro-sholat]
Bracaidh no sgàineadh, an connlach anns a 'chruach
Bidh sin a 'briseadh air ais an càmhal
Dè a tha a 'briseadh air ais an càmhal, tha e
[Sèist]
Cuideam mar thruip, drip, dà-shruth nach stad sin nach stad, cò
Cuideam a th 'annad, tip, tip' gu bheil thu dìreach a 'dol pop, ge domhainn-oh-oh
Thoir dha do phiuthar, do phiuthar as sine
Thoir na rudan tràth as fheàrr aice chan urrainn dhuinn a bhith gualainn
Cò a th 'annam mura h-urrainn dhomh ruith leis a' bhall?
Ma thuiteas mi gu
Cuideam mar greim, greim, greim, agus cha leig e air falbh, cò
Cuideam mar strìochag, diog, strìochag, tilg Tha e deiseil airson sèideadh, ge domhainn-oh
Thoir dha do phiuthar, nas làidire do phiuthar
Feuch an urrainn dhi a bhith a 'crochadh air beagan nas fhaide
Cò a th 'annam mura h-urrainn dhomh a ghiùlan uile?
Ma tha mi Falter
[Rann 2]
Fon uachdar
Bidh mi a 'falach mo nerves agus nas luaithe, tha mi a' cur dragh orm somethin 'tha gonna a' gàireachdainn thugainn
Fon uachdar
Chan eil an long a 'swerve, a bheil e air a bhith air a chuileachadh cho mòr sa tha am beinn-deighe?
Fon uachdar
Tha mi a 'smaoineachadh mun adhbhar agam, an urrainn dhomh seo a ghleidheadh?
Loidhne suas an Dominoes, bidh gaoth aotrom a 'sèideadh
Bidh thu a 'feuchainn ri stad a chuir air tumadh, ach air adhart agus air falbh
[Drochaid]
Ach feitheamh, nam b 'urrainn dhomh an cuideam a ghearradh a' brùthadh nan dùilean
An cuireadh sin beagan rùm suas airson aoibhneis
No fois, no toileachas sìmplidh?
An àite sin, bidh sinn a 'tomhas an cuideam a tha a' sìor fhàs
A 'cumail a' fàs, cùm ort, 'ag adhbhrachadh gu bheil fios againn uile
[Sèist]
Cuideam mar thruip, drip, dà-shruth nach stad sin nach stad, cò
Cuideam a th 'annad, tip, tip' gu bheil thu dìreach a 'dol pop, ge domhainn-oh-oh
Thoir dha do phiuthar, cha bhith e air a ghoirteachadh agus
Feuch an urrainn dhi a bhith a 'làimhseachadh gach eallach teaghlaich
Coimhead mar a bhios i a 'bucall agus a' lùbadh ach nach bi a 'briseadh
No mearachdan, dìreach
Cuideam mar greim, greim, greim, agus cha leig e air falbh, cò
Cuideam mar strìochag, diog, strìochag, tilg Tha e deiseil airson sèideadh, ge domhainn-oh
Thoir dha do phiuthar agus na iongnadh gu bràth
Nam biodh an aon cuideam gad tharraing fo
Cò a th 'ann mura h-eil na tha e a' dèanamh?
No sgàinidhean, gun bhriseadh
Chan eil mearachdan ann, gun cuideam
