Pearl

[Verse 1]
I don't know how to start my nights
We used to count the stars when we couldn't count our blessings
You would color in my cheeks with the funniest hues
I tried to name your shade of pink, but its sitting out my spectrum
Now I'm lost. Lost
Grass fill my palm, squeeze the earth 'till it bleeds
Fold under pressure, hide my worth in the crease
Scurry through the forest till the morning
Now I'm mourning every kiss that I had rushed
Every hand that I released
Every argument I started
Every man that I could be
And while I don Black Veil I'm counting every step I missed
Staring through this tiny grid I pray the mesh would rip
I bleed pearl white daylight
Rose quartz nightmares
Playing back your every word to find the phrase I never heard
I felt like something by your side when I was nothing
You saw a thing in me I never could admit
When all you know is slipping it's so hard to get a grip
Cookies in the Bronco, footsies with the cosmos
It was something else to live for someone else
I let you put me in a sugar cone and let me fucking melt
And I was happy (happy)
Why would I go home if you were here?
Strawberry, strawberry
I felt it in my bones that you were near
(No)
Just do it for her. (Do it for her)
That is to say (That is to say)
That is to say (That is to say)
Do it for her (Do it for her?)
That is to say (That is to say)

[Verse 2]
By the glory I was caught inside a centrifuge spinning
Saw the light inside a bottle, I been sifting through symptoms
The wind off these movements would cause you to freeze
(Cause you to freeze)
I fly through the earth
I swim through the canyons
I crawl through the seas
Tried to saw through diseases
I'm rusted, my blade was as sharp as a boulder but still it was back and forth (Back and forth)
Tried to cut it off to minimize the interactions
But still I was caught in its back and forth
I asked but just what am I asking for?
Peace of mind, I'm sick of peeking through blinds
You missed all my points like a matador
It's like you died, spilling grief but with time we might...

[Outro: Steven Universe]
Steven: "Pearl! Pearl, you have to tell me what's wrong."
Pearl: "Sometimes, you even sound like her. Do you remember this place? Do you have any of her memories? We were right here, over five thousand years ago. Sometimes, I wonder if she can see me through your eyes. Oh – what would she think of me now?
