Surface Pressure Songtext
von Annapantsu

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 indestructable surface
Diamonds and platinum
I find ′em I flatten ′em
I take what I'm handed
I break what′s demanded, but


Under the surface
I feel beserk 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, a straw in the stack
What breaks the camel's back?
What breaks the camel's back?
It′s

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


Under the surface
I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the ice berg is
Under the surface
I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominos, a light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling on and on and on it goes

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 (pressure, pressure, pressure)
Keeps growing (pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure)
Keep going (pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure)
′Cause all we know is (pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure)

Pressure like a drip drip drip that'll never stop
Whoa-oh
Pressure that′ll tip tip tip 'til you just go "pop!"
Whoa-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
Whoa-oh
Pressure like a tick tick tick 'til it′s ready to blow
Whoa-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?
No cracks, no breaks!
No mistakes
No pressure
