Peridot thinks hard about her standing among the Crystal Gems and Homeworld.
lyrics
The Crystal Clods, are just lazing around
Still a fistful of jobs to get this drill in the ground
A wishful plot, that we'd be phasing them now
With the cluster subdued, that they'd finally come to
And turn around
“Oh Peri,” they'd say
Before they put that smile away
“You're being silly again.
You're cute to the touch as you worry too much
‘Bout the where and when.”
But I don't want to risk it
Letting someone else decide my fate
Caught and thrown in prison
Shrugging it off like, “it could have been great”
I’ve come so far, in the few weeks that passed
Made who we are, into something that lasts
Am I, too, a star, or the diamond on my chest
Seems my repertoire is limited at its best
“Oh Peri,” they’d say
Before they tell me, “It’s late,
And you deserve a break.
Bags under your eyes, can’t be disguised,
So let’s call it a day.”
But I won’t take my chances
Letting someone else decide my fate
The Cluster always advances
Won’t meet my doom, when it could have been great
It could have been great here
It could have been crystal clear
It could have been a mighty colony
But you lost us this commodity
And now I owe you an apology?
For stating the facts
“Peridot,” he said
As he was shaking his head
“I thought you understood
We fight for what’s right, even if it’s finite
And that great’s not always good”
