3. From the Belly of the Whale (6:29)
Have you seen my father? He went away
Left the house this morning, thought he came this way

Lived my life with secrets no child should keep
Took upon my shoulders burdens not to speak

Mommy's sweet but knows the sad truth - she tows the line
Quietly she prays for guidance she'll never find

End this life of lies
How could I ever be a father?
End this life of lies
I might propagate his failures

I fear that I might be like him
Father to son and down the line
I fear my son might be like me

A flood would wash away the filth
Praying to God for healing rain
A light would cleanse this heart of mine

Daddy goes away on business, or so say he says
Mommy thinks she's kept me safe, but I've known for years

Plunge into the deepest ocean to find a whale
Daddy's unaware of danger - it's up to me

End this life of lies
How could I rescue my own father?
End this life of lies
Will my fear destroy my family?

I cannot swim
I'm too petrified to move
He cannot hear
From the belly of the whale
Father, please!
I can't move
I can't save you
