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

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

It Could Have Been Great

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

Our Legacy (intro)
01:00
|

“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

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
