Save the World

Maeven opened the door she'd been warned about and came out with a second heartbeat and the whole land in her head. Every rock, tree, and bug was begging her to save it, and none of them could say how. Five days of that would kill her, so the real question was whether she'd lean on her friends or on her father. Honestly, it's a lot like having kids.

Warned not to open up the door
Couldn't know that what's in store
Mother leapt out, fades away
Leaves to Maeven destined fate

Double heartbeat throbs in chest
Burning heat behind her breast
Little Rueben, dragon kid
Asks if okay as she spins

The rocks, the trees, the land as whole
Begs to Maeven to save their soul
Rescue them, they're dying, please
But they can't answer what they need

Suddenly, she hears them all
The grass, the insects, every call
Connected to the land so deep
Centaur's licking rock just weeps

She cries out how can she help
How can the land be brought to health
Guess that rocks that don't have ears
Can only moan about their fears

The rocks, the trees, the land as whole
Begs to Maeven to save their soul
Rescue them, they're dying, please
But they can't answer what they need

Focus, Maeven, or go mad
Wisdom save you from the bad
Exhaustion sets in from the sound
Power from that train car found

Five days of this and you'll be dead
Relentless pounding in your head
Will you reach out to your friends
Or will your father help again?

The rocks, the trees, the land as whole
Begs to Maeven to save their soul
Rescue them, they're dying, please
But they can't answer what they need

The water, grass, even the flies
Wei, flyslayer, waiting lies
Rescue them, they're dying, please
Hope Odysseus doesn't have fleas

Imagine the noise, the endless chorus of tiny voices chipping away at sanity
It'd be like having kids
