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
Ja sam jak, nisam nervozan
Tvrd sam kao i kore zemlje
Pomičem planine, premještam crkve
I svijetlim, jer znam što je moja vrijednost
Ne pitam koliko je naporan posao
Dobio grubu, neuništivu površinu
Dijamanti i platina, smatram da ih spljoštam
Uzimam ono što mi uručim, slomim ono što se traži, ali
[Stih 1]
Ispod površine
Osjećam se kao šetač po žici u cirkusu s tri prstena
Ispod površine
Je li Hercules ikad volio: "Yo, ne želim se boriti protiv Cerberusa?"
Ispod površine
Prilično sam siguran da sam bezvrijedan ako ne mogu biti u službi
[Predhorus]
Mana ili pukotina, slama u snopu
To razbija leđa deve
Što razbija deva, to je
[Zbor]
Pritisak poput kapljice, kaplje, kaplje koji se nikad neće zaustaviti, whoa
Pritisak koji će se savjetovati, savjet, savjet dok samo ne popnete, who-oh-oh
Daj sestri, starija sestre
Dajte joj sve teške stvari koje ne možemo ramenuti
Tko sam ja ako ne mogu trčati s loptom?
Ako padnem na
Pritisak poput stiska, stisak, stisak, i to neće pustiti, whoa
Pritisak poput krpelja, krpelja, krpelja dok je spreman za puhanje, who-oh-oh
Dajte se sestri, sestra je jača
Pogledajte može li se još malo objesiti
Tko sam ja ako ne mogu sve nositi?
Ako se pokvarim
[Stih 2]
Ispod površine
Skrivam živce i to se pogoršava, brinem se nešto će nas povrijediti
Ispod površine
Brod se ne skreće, je li čuo koliko je velik ledeni brijeg?
Ispod površine
Razmišljam o svojoj svrsi, mogu li to nekako sačuvati?
Postavite domine, puše lagani vjetar
Pokušavate to zaustaviti, ali na to i dalje
[Most]
Ali pričekajte, ako bih mogao otresti masu s drobljenjem očekivanja
Da li bi to besplatno malo prostora za radost
Ili opuštanje ili jednostavno zadovoljstvo?
Umjesto toga, mjerimo ovaj rastući pritisak
Nastavlja raste, nastavi, jer sve što znamo jest
[Zbor]
Pritisak poput kapljice, kaplje, kaplje koji se nikad neće zaustaviti, whoa
Pritisak koji će se savjetovati, savjet, savjet dok samo ne popnete, who-oh-oh
Daj sestri, ne boli i
Pogledajte može li se nositi s svakim obiteljskim teretom
Pazi kako se ona baca i savija, ali nikad se ne razbija
Nema pogrešaka, samo
Pritisak poput stiska, stisak, stisak, i to neće pustiti, whoa
Pritisak poput krpelja, krpelja, krpelja dok je spreman za puhanje, who-oh-oh
Daj se sestri i nikad se ne čudi
Da bi vas isti pritisak povukao ispod
Tko sam ja ako nemam što je potrebno?
Nema pukotina, nema pauze
Nema pogrešaka, nema pritiska
