~~~~~~~

Patton decided it was his turn to sing. He put on a convincing smile and went to the karaoke machine. He put his song on and grabbed the microphone. He was hoping this song will get his sons to realize that talking shit about each other will only kill them more.

"Some days life feels perfect, other days, it just ain't workin'. The good, the bad, the right, the wrong and everything in between. Yo it's crazy, amazing; we can turn our heart through the words we say. Mountains crumble with every syllable, hope can live or die." Patton looked directly at Roman when he sang the last part. Prince Dude had a flash of fear appear on his face. "So speak life, speak life to the deadest darkest night. Speak life, speak life when the sun won't shine and you dont know why. Look into the eyes of the broken hearted, watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope, you speak love, you speak."

The sides watched their fatherly figure, well to Logan he was more of a very close friend, as he spoke the words of wisdom to them.  They didn't get the message he was sending but they did get that it's towards them.

"You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. Some days the tongue gets twisted, other days my thoughts just fall apart. I do, I don't, I will, I won't, it's like I'm drowning in the deep. Well, it's crazy to imagine words from my lips as arms of compassion. Mountains crumble with every syllable, hope can live or die!" Patton gave a soft smile. He knew they would understand....eventually. "So speak life, speak life to the deadest darkest night. Speak life, speak life when the sun won't shine and you don't know why. Look into the eyes of the broken hearted, watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope, you speak love, you speak."

That's when it hit the Left Brains and Deceit like a sack of potatoes. Roman didn't understand it but he saw that the others did. Maybe he really was dim-witted...?

"You speak life, oh oh oh oh. You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. Lift your head a little higher. Spread the love like a fire. Hope will fall like rain when you speak life with the words you say. Raise your thoughts a little higher, use your words to inspire. Joy will fall like rain when you speak life with the things you say!"Patton smiled to each of them, even to his dark version. The snek boi smiled back cautiously. "Lift your head a little higher. Spread the love like a fire. Hope will fall like rain when you speak life with the things you say. So speak life, speak life to the deadest darkest night. Speak life, speak life when the sun won't shine and you don't know why. Look into the eyes of the broken hearted, watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope, you speak love, you speak!"

That's when Roman finally understood what Patton was sending towards them. Virgil snickered at Roman's wide-eyed face of realization. He was gonna tease him about that later.

"You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh. You speak life oh oh oh oh oh. Some days life feels perfect." Patton finished the song and took a bow. The others clapped and Patton wiped a few tears away.

"Was that song directed towards us?" Roman asked. The fatherly figure looked at his "son".

"Yes Roman, that was directed towards all four of you. Deceit, you better not hurt this family or I'm sending you back to the chambers." Patton smirked. Deceit had a look of terror on his snek face.

"Y-yes ssssir." Deceit saluted in a polite manner. Patton nodded and sat down.

"I'm next."
