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
Teška sam kao što je korica Zemlje
Prelazim planine, premještam crkve
I sjajem, jer znam šta je moja vrednost
Ne pitam koliko je težak posao
Dobio grubu, neuništivu površinu
Dijamanti i platina, nalazim ih, ravnam ih
Uzimam ono što sam uručio, prekidam ono što je zatražilo, ali
[VERSE 1]
Pod površinom
Osjećam se berserk kao šightropski šetač u cirkusu s tri prstena
Pod površinom
Da li su Herkules ikad svidjeli: "Yo, ne želim se boriti protiv cerberusa?"
Pod površinom
Prilično sam siguran da sam bezvrijedan ako ne mogu biti od koristi
[Pre-hor]
Mana ili pukotina, slama u snopu
To pokvari leđa kamile
Šta razbija leđa kamile, to je
[Chorus]
Pritisak poput kaplje, kaplje, kaplja koji nikad neće prestati, whoa
Pritisak koji će tipkati, savjet, tip 'dok ne idete samo pop, whoa-oh-oh
Dajte ga svojoj sestri, sestra je starija
Dajte joj sve teške stvari koje ne možemo rameniti
Ko sam ja ako ne mogu trčati s loptom?
Ako padnem na
Pritisak poput prianjanja, stiskanja, stiskanja i neće pustiti, whoa
Pritisak poput krpelja, označite, označite dok bude spreman da puše, whoa-oh-oh
Dajte ga svojoj sestri, sestra je jača
Pogledajte da li može dugo da visi malo
Ko sam ja ako ne mogu sve da nosim?
Ako propadnem
[VERSE 2]
Pod površinom
Sakrivam svoje živce i to se pogoršava, brinem da će nam nešto povrijediti
Pod površinom
Brod se ne svlači, je li čuo koliko je veliki ledeni brijeg?
Pod površinom
Razmišljam o svojoj svrsi, mogu li nekako sačuvati ovo?
Postrojenje domina, svjetlosni vjetar duva
Pokušavaš prestati da se prevara, ali dalje i na njemu ide
[Bridge]
Ali pričekajte, ako bih mogao da se rukujem na težini očekivanja
Da li bi to oslobodio neku sobu za radost
Ili opuštanje ili jednostavno zadovoljstvo?
Umjesto toga, mjerimo ovaj rastući pritisak
Stalno raste, nastavi dalje, jer sve što znamo je
[Chorus]
Pritisak poput kaplje, kaplje, kaplja koji nikad neće prestati, whoa
Pritisak koji će tipkati, savjet, tip 'dok ne idete samo pop, whoa-oh-oh
Dajte ga svojoj sestri, ne boli i
Pogledajte da li može podnijeti svaku opterećenje porodice
Pazi dok se kopče i savija, ali nikad se ne razbija
Nema grešaka, samo
Pritisak poput prianjanja, stiskanja, stiskanja i neće pustiti, whoa
Pritisak poput krpelja, označite, označite dok bude spreman da puše, whoa-oh-oh
Daj ga svojoj sestri i nikad se ne pitam
Ako bi vas isti pritisak povukao ispod
Ko sam ja ako nemam ono što je potrebno?
Nema pukotina, nema pauze
Nema grešaka, nema pritiska
