# WHERE DID THE LIBRARY GO? ### Fidget — Melongeddon, September 28 **[Spoken — Fidget]** Okay. I have one question. It was a *very large building.* So... **WHERE DID IT GO?!** --- **[Verse 1]** Woke up this morning, smelled cinnamon smoke, Leaves on the pavement, thought somebody joked, Orange on the rooftops, gold in the trees, Pumpkins showing up wherever they please. Little ones, big ones, lanterns that glow, Vines through the alley where vines shouldn’t grow, I turned to the Library— ...Library? Guys? There was definitely a Library here yesterday. **[Pre-Chorus]** No crater, No rubble, No scorch mark on the ground, Just autumn leaves And pumpkins For about a mile around. Mynxsi, I swear If this is another one of your plans— **[pause]** Actually... Never mind. I don’t wanna know. --- **[CHORUS]** **WHERE DID THE LIBRARY GO?!** There’s a pumpkin patch where it used to be! Orange lanterns in the windows— Except there aren’t any windows Because THERE ISN’T ANY BUILDING I CAN SEE! Whoa-oh-oh! The leaves are falling way too slow, Whoa-oh-oh! And those pumpkins definitely glow! Melongeddon came for summer, Now it’s dressed for harvest time— And I gotta admit... **THIS IS KIND OF AWESOME.** But something’s not quite right. --- **[Verse 2]** Kobb says spooky season—yeah, apparently so, Even the corn guy’s watching pumpkins grow, Jack-o’-lantern armies lining up in rows, Nobody planted them. **Nobody knows.** There’s a wagon with a cannon Made of iron, wood, and gourd, There’s a pumpkin with a saddle— ... **I CALL THAT ONE.** Grab my goggles! Get the wrench! If autumn wants a fight, I’ve got an engine on the bench! And if we’re saving Mynxsi’s Library From whatever swallowed it whole— I’m bringing pumpkin artillery. **For morale.** --- **[Pre-Chorus 2]** Because five minutes ago This was melons, teeth, and war, Now there’s cider in the armory And leaves across the floor. Every time we think this thing Cannot get stranger than before— **THE BUILDING DISAPPEARS.** ... That’s new. --- **[CHORUS]** **WHERE DID THE LIBRARY GO?!** There’s a harvest moon above the battlefield! Pumpkin steeds are charging forward, Gourd artillery behind us, And I made mine unnecessarily reinforced and steel! Whoa-oh-oh! Light the lanterns, let ’em glow! Whoa-oh-oh! Point me where we need to go! If the Library’s hiding somewhere, Then we’re bringing everybody home— And if autumn wants a showdown? **FINE.** I brought my own. --- **[Bridge — quieter / mysterious]** But underneath the laughing... Under wheels and pumpkin flame... There’s a little part of me That keeps staring where it stood. Because buildings don’t just vanish. Not even here. Not even with us. And every glowing jack-o’-lantern Seems to be looking the same way... Toward the empty place. **[whisper]** ...Mynxsi? You seeing this? --- **[BUILD — drums return]** Okay! Mystery later! Engines NOW! Widget—take the left! Archivist—quit staring dramatically And help me load this thing! Pumpkin cavalry—MOVE! Kobb— ... I genuinely don't know what tactical advantage Being corn gives us here, **BUT GET IN!** --- **[FINAL CHORUS]** **WHERE DID THE LIBRARY GO?!** We’ll tear through every autumn road! Through the vines and through the lanterns, Past the fields of grinning pumpkins, Till we find where all those missing books were stowed! Whoa-oh-oh! Let the harvest engines roar! Whoa-oh-oh! We’ve survived much worse before! Melongeddon turned to autumn, And the Library disappeared— So if somebody took our Library... **THAT WAS WEIRD.** And also— **VERY POORLY ENGINEERED.** --- **[Outro — Fidget, riding away]** Okay! Pumpkin launchers loaded? Yep! Wagon fueled? Yep! Emergency shutoff? ... ... **ARCHIVIST!** **DO WE STILL HAVE AN EMERGENCY SHUTOFF?!** **[distant explosion]** ... Cool. **LET’S GO FIND A LIBRARY.**
