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
Ech sinn déi staark, ech sinn net nervös
Ech sinn esou haart wéi d'Krust vun der Äerd ass
Ech beweegen Bierger, ech plënneren Kierpelen
An ech glänzen, well ech weess wat mäi Wäert ass
Ech froen net wéi schwéier d'Aarbecht ass
Krut eng rau, indestruktéierbar Uewerfläch
Diamanten a Platin, ech fannen et, ech fléien ech
Ech huelen un wat ech iwwerloossen, hunn ech briechen wat gefrot ass, awer
[Vers 1]
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
Ech fille mech berserk als enkrope Walker an engem dräi-Ring Zirkus
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
War Hercules jee gär, "Yo, ech wëll net Cerberus kämpfen?"
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
Ech si ganz sécher datt ech wäertlos sinn ob ech net vum Service sinn
[Pre-Chouer]
Eng Flag oder e Krack, d'Stréimung am Stack
Dat brécht de Réck vum Kaméidi
Wat brécht dem Kamel säi Réck, et ass
[Chorus]
Drock wéi eng Drip, Drip, Drip dat wäert ni ophalen, whoa
Drock, deen Tipps, Tipp, Tipp 'til Iech just pop, whoa-oh-oh
Gitt et op Är Schwëster, Är Schwëster méi al
Ginn hir all déi schwéier Saachen déi mir net kënnen Schëlleren
Wien sinn ech wann ech net mam Ball net lafen?
Wann ech falen
Drock wéi e Grëff, grip, grip, an et wäert net lassloossen, whoa
Drock wéi e Kräizt, tick, tick 'til et ass prett ze blosen, who-oh-oh
Gitt et op Är Schwëster, Är Schwëster méi staark
Kuckt ob hatt e bësse méi laang hänkt
Wien sinn ech wann ech et net alles droen?
Wann ech Falen
[Vers 2]
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
Ech verstoppen meng Nerven an et huet sech verschlechtert, ech suergfälteg "wäert eis verletzen
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
D'Schëff sterve, huet et héieren wéi grouss den Äisbierg ass?
Ënnert der Uewerfläch
Ech denken un mäin Zweck, kann ech iergendwéi dat erhaalen?
Linn op d'Dominoen, e Liichtfuerer bléist
Dir probéiert et ze stoppen, awer op an op et geet
[Bréck]
Awer waarden, wann ech de kräischen d'Gewiicht vun Erwaardunge kräischen
Géif dat e puer Zëmmer fir Freed fräi sinn
Oder Entspanung, oder einfach Spaass?
Amplaz, mir moossen dee wuessen Drock
Hält wuessen, weider goen, well alles wat mir wëssen ass
[Chorus]
Drock wéi eng Drip, Drip, Drip dat wäert ni ophalen, whoa
Drock, deen Tipps, Tipp, Tipp 'til Iech just pop, whoa-oh-oh
Gitt et op Är Schwëster, et huet net verletzt an
Kuckt ob hatt all Famill handholl kann
Kuckt wéi hatt spullen a biegt awer ni brécht
Keng Feeler, just
Drock wéi e Grëff, grip, grip, an et wäert net lassloossen, whoa
Drock wéi e Kräizt, tick, tick 'til et ass prett ze blosen, who-oh-oh
Gitt et op Är Schwëster an froe mech ni
Wann datselwecht Drock deen Iech ënnergeet
Wien sinn ech wann ech net hunn, wat et dauert?
Keng Rëss, keng Pausen
Keng Feeler, keen Drock
