Perfection's Collapse

Oh, Starlight...

There you are.

Such a little thing...

So many imperfections.

Don't worry, darling.

I'll fix them all.

Look at my kingdom,

So perfect, so bright.

Every Gem in her place,

Every shadow turned white.

No need for questions,

no need to disagree.

Everything is beautiful when everyone is me.

You call it freedom,

I call it a flaw.

You call it living,

I call it breaking the law.

And all of your colors,

so messy, so strange.

Just give me one moment,

I'll make them all change.

Oh, Pink, you were always so difficult to tame.

You changed your little body,

but you're still the same.

YOU CAN RUN FROM YOUR PURPOSE!

BUT YOU CAN'T RUN

FROM ME!

I AM THE LIGHT!

I AM THE CROWN!

I AM THE REASON THE STARS BOW DOWN!

NO MORE COLORS!

NO MORE LIES! I'LL MAKE YOU PERFECT BEFORE MY EYES!

(Oh-oh-oh), can't you see?

(Oh-oh-oh), perfection is me!

YOU DON'T NEED TO

BE DIFFERENT! YOU JUST NEED TO BE

ME!

Yellow is angry, Blue always cries.

Pink was a problem disguised in a lie.

And Steven, my darling,

you think you're so wise.

But I see your little flaws behind those human eyes.

You gather your friends,

you think love makes you strong.

But why would you choose them when they've all been wrong?

I'll straighten your edges,

I'll silence your fears.

I'll polish your future till nothing appears.

I gave you a purpose,

I gave you a name.

And you think that changing makes you more than a game?

OH, LITTLE STEVEN...

YOU'RE STILL PLAYING PRETEND.

I AM THE LIGHT!

I AM THE CROWN!

I AM THE REASON THE STARS BOW DOWN!

NO MORE COLORS! NO MORE LIES!

I'LL MAKE YOU PERFECT BEFORE MY EYES!

(Oh-oh-oh), can't you see?

(Oh-oh-oh), perfection is me!

YOU DON'T NEED TO

BE DIFFERENT! YOU JUST NEED TO BE

ME!

Why are you laughing?

Why won't you bow?

Why is my perfect little world falling apart now?

I made you flawless,

I made you shine.

So why does your reflection

look nothing like mine?

No...

No, that's impossible...

I am perfect.

I AM PERFECT!

I DON'T MAKE MISTAKES!

I DON'T HAVE FLAWS!

I AM THE ANSWER!

I AM THE LAW!

I AM THE LIGHT!

I AM THE CROWN!

BUT WHY IS EVERYTHING CRUMBLING DOWN?!

I SEE THE COLORS!

I SEE THE LIES!

I SEE A STRANGER BEHIND MY EYES!

(Oh-oh-oh), what could this be?

(Oh-oh-oh), is something wrong with me?

IF I'M THE PERFECT ONE...

WHY CAN'T I CONTROL EVERYTHING?!

Steven... If I'm not

perfect... Then... Who am I?
