Incomplete (The Puzzle Song)

## Lyrics

Roman: So, you've gone and called someone stupid

And, in response, they damaged your eye

But there is where the conflict must end

Lest you both end up blind

Logan: Another song? Really?

Roman: Sometimes the problems at play

Are not all plain to see

So we lash out at our loved ones

Disregarding our bonds' sanctity

Patton: There are several sides to us that may seem abstract at first

Until we discover where everything fits, and

People can be like a half-missing puzzle set;

As we find the pieces

Things make more and more sense!

Thomas: Nice imagery, but I'm not sure I follow

Patton: Well, I'll give you an example:

I had this problem where I'd often hide my less-than-awesome feelings

So when I would feel like sobbing, I'd just smile and crack jokes!

I thought that that was coping, only joking

Never showing sadness

Hoping it would go away!

Logan: Did that work?

Patton: Nope!

I felt bad!

Roman: Aw, Pat...

Patton: It's okay

Thomas: How's that?

Patton: Everybody gets sad

Even dads that have people to care for

And therefore

You don't have to hide your pain

Life without rainy days Is incomplete

Or like not even a thing, you know?

Rain goes to plants, plants feed animals, plant-eating animals feed animal-eating animals

And humans feed animals corn and inject them

With hormones until they can barely walk anymo—

Thomas: Patton?

Patton: Yes?

Thomas: How does all of that relate to rain?

Patton: Oh, right, rainy days, forgot what I was talking about

Um, putting it simply, rain is a necessary piece of the

Puzzle that is, uh, life

Logan: So true

Are we done with singing or is this just one of those musical interludes?

Virgil: On the subject of storm clouds...

'Cause, you know. You need. Storm clouds to make. Rain

I'm just gonna get into it

You once knew me as real gloomy

This weird spooky, broody dude

Because I knew you'd listen to me

As too scary to ignore

I thought that I could take it

All the hate could just be shaken

But when you lo— care for someone

Not much hurts more than their scorn

I also felt bad

Roman: Oh come now...

Virgil: In a different way...

Thomas: Different how?

Virgil: By bad I mean, well, mean

But I did what I thought that I had to

Which is bad too!

I don't have to act all tough...

Thomas: Sometimes love is enough...

Patton: Or what we need!

Logan: That was a quaint little review

Of things that we already knew

Now, can our discourse resume?

There's pressing matters at hand

Thomas: Actually, that was for your benefit

Logan: I don't see how that could be relevant

Patton: Logan, please

Thomas: Our goal's benelovent

Logan: You know me; I don't care for sentiment

Roman: OMG!

Logan: & Thomas:

This just serves as a testament

(*This just serves as a testament*)

To the fact

(*To the fact*)

That to me, you're negligent

(*That you have a temperament,*)

Which is fine

(*Which is fine.*)

It just works to your detriment

(*You just haven't accepted it.*)

You not letting me finish

(*If you'd let them finish*

*They'd get to the—!*)

Is proving my—!

Virgil: HEY!

You're lost

Logan: I'm right here

Virgil: It's okay

Logan: You're acting weird...

Virgil: I was lost once, too

But thanks to all of you

Life sucks less, now...

Roman, Thomas, & Patton:

We're your best pals!

Virgil: No one wants to be a joke...

Roman, Thomas, & Patton: But a life free of jokes Is incomplete!

Roman: Oh my gosh, guys! If we're airing out our dirty laundry Would you mind if I participated?

Thomas: By all means! Sure!

Roman: I'd also like to contribute to this weird, vent-y song!

Thomas: Please, do!

Roman: I've got an issue that feels like new-school;

I don't wanna say I'm too cool

But I'm just too fab for you fools

And I feel like you don't get me!

Thomas: You insulted us while venting?

Roman: Sorry!

Thomas: It's alright, Princey

Honestly, it didn't hurt me

It's clear that

You're the one

That's hurting

Roman: Huh?

Virgil: You feel low

Roman: That's not true!

Patton: It's okay

Roman: Don't assume!

Thomas: You don't need to save face

Virgil: In almost any case

Virgil & Patton:

We embrace you

Roman: That's rich

Virgil: No one hates you

Virgil, Thomas,& Patton:

Everybody's got flaws

Thomas: But with no you at all

I'm incomplete!

Roman, Virgil, Thomas, & Patton: There! Now you see!

Everybody goes wrong, And we put it in song

So it's easier, To hear it!

Patton: This puzzle's tough, I'll admit

But in time We'll find where everything fits
