The Answer 03:09
Visions, shattered Made two rash decisions Now my missions don’t matter Keep you away from the storm Keep you safe, keep you warm Keep you here I want everything I couldn’t have Since I did everything I shouldn’t have My future’s never guaranteed Might be a bit scary, see But I’ve got her to carry me Two gems, one stone Am I talking through them? Contents: unknown I can feel them buried Emotions may vary From lost to frost Scared to unbearably happy I want everything I couldn’t have Since I did everything I shouldn’t have My future’s never guaranteed Might be a bit scary, see But I’ve got her to carry me Might take a while to find the balance Between a new lifestyle and some old habits Keep a low profile until I gain the talents To say with a smile, “I'm forever canon!” I want everything I couldn’t have Since I did everything I shouldn’t have My future’s never guaranteed Might be a bit scary, see But I’ve got her to carry me

Wait For Me 01:48
I know you're super busy Being all sorts of pretty Like pretty cool and pretty schooled Being the smartest in all of Beach City So while you’re busy being an astronaut And I’m fighting a recent Homeworld onslaught I’d like to be your favorite Universe And you’ll be my favorite Maheswaran So could you wait for me I can feel a growth spurt coming I'm 14, there's gotta be something Maybe if I just stretch it out They’d have nothing to fret about But while you're busy being president I'd like to be a permanent resident In your house, no matter the color I wanna be your significant other So could you wait for me And I know I may stagnate From time-to-time And we might have a bad day From time-to-time But I’ll find the line Between growing up and growing old And I’ll cross it for you To the best of my abilities So could you wait for me Could you wait for me Cause I would wait for you So could you wait for me

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” It could have been great But I’m glad it’s good

“Hey- HEY. Listen close cause I’m not repeating myself. I, uh, I wrote a music-song thing… about the five of us. Steven showed me the song he wrote for the four of you, called it your ‘theme song’? Well anyway, I figured, since- well since I am a Crystal Gem now, whether I like it or not, I should be officially included in your song-log. *blush deepens as she speaks* Also, it’s in the key of C--to commemorate the note that brought us all together. *catches herself zoning* Just- shut your mouths and listen.”

If I had to sum us up We never run out of luck And we may make a mess And might not always pick it up but We have our fun times But our lives aren’t sublime We have plenty of tests And we may fail sometimes but We will keep trying No use in dying When we can get back up We’ll always make a fuss Cause we are the Crystal Gems And I’m a piece of them If there’s life to defend We may fall But our legacy will never end We’ve come to know this earth Enough to know its worth To forget our own hides And be assertive We’ve learned to pull our punches And how to laugh at nothing To swallow our pride And know when to rush in And if you haven’t heard of The Crystal Gems You’re sadly under-informed And if you breathe a word of The Crystal Gems Anything but good You’ve misunderstood We will keep trying No use in dying When we can get back up We’ll always make a fuss Cause we are the Crystal Gems And I’m a piece of them If there’s life to defend We may fall But We are the Crystal Gems And I’m a piece of them If there’s life to defend We may fall We are the Crystal Gems And I’m a piece of them If there’s life to defend We may fall But our legacy will never end

Log Date 7 16 2 32 rotations 32 nights To think about where I’ve come What I’ve done A major relocation A major fight Made this giant mess All this stress One truce agreement One leap of faith That I’ll somehow survive Till they arrive Surprising treatment Surprising fate That those clods would care How I fare Log Date 7 20 2 A million questions Million tests To see who they can do What is true Traitorous obsession Traitorous end To rise up against That which was perfect Countless enemies Countless deaths Until we push them back Or we crack Throughout the centuries Throughout this breath I’m someone I was not Who I fought Log Date 7 23 2 4 dependable allies 4 dependable gems Making me feel tall Through it all Peculiar standby’s Peculiar…. friends To lighten the mood Always soothing To know Wherever I go I’ll make countless foes But at least I’ll have something to show And if I fall I know I can find the gall To not let my heart build a wall Because organic life is beautiful And I know now that my chest is full Of different kind of life Not the one that keep you moving But the one that keeps improving When you choose not to survive But to thrive 39 rotations 39 nights To think about where I’ve come What I’ve done

about

Written for Steven Bomb 4, this EP includes one song for each of the five episodes: "The Answer," "Steven's Birthday," "It Could Have Been Great," "Message Received," and "Log Date 7 15 2." And since this bomb gave Peridot an appreciation for organic life, our tiny green dorito mom takes the cover this time around.

Every digital download of the full EP comes with a free iPhone background and PDF of Organic's lyrics.
