Surface Pressure lyrics from memory!

Like Flower, I relate to this song in one way or another. Even though I don't have any sisters or brothers I still sometimes feel like I have to carry the whole family on my back and sometimes gotta relax hehe.
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!
Under the surface
I feel as bezerk 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
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip, till you just go pop, woah
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things that 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
Pressure that'll tick, tick, tick, until it's ready to blow, woah
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've had 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 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!
But wait
If I could shake
The crushing weight
Of expectations
Would that free some room up for
Joy
Or relaxation?
Instead we measure
Keeps growing, growing
'Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, woah
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip, till you just go pop, woah
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.
Pressure that'll tick, tick, tick, till it's ready to blow
Woah!
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would have pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks
No breaks!
No mistakes, no pressure!
