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 know their beauty's not my lack
But it feels like that weight is on my back
And I can't let it go

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
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back, what breaks the camel's back?

It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, woah-oh
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-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, woah-oh
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-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

And I see everyone gettin' all the things I want
I'm happy for them, but then again, I'm not
Just cool vintage clothes and vacation photos
I can't stand it, oh, God, I sound crazy

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 topplin', but on and on it goes

But wait

Com-comparison
Is killin' me slowly
I think I think too much
'Bout kids who don't know me

I'm so sick of myself
Rather be, rather be
Anyone, anyone else
But jealousy, jealousy (yeah)

If I could shake
The crushing weight
Of expectations, would that free some room up for joy

All I see is what I should be
Happier, prettier, jealousy, jealousy
All I see is what I should be
I'm losin' it, all I get's jealousy, jealousy

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah-oh
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-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, woah-oh
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-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?

Oh, I'm so sick of myself
I'd rather be, rather be (oh, oh, oh)

No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes!
No pressure!
