Innocence Maintained

Lyrics

Ophelia drowned in the water
 Crushed by her own weight
 Hitler loved little blue eyed boys
 And it drove him to hate
 Birds always grow silent before the night descends
 'cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
 A hero's torso built of steel and novocain
 His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
 There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
 So he found himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the window
 Sill
 We've made houses for hatred
 It's time to make a place
 Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
 Be careful with each other
 These fragile flames
 For innocence can't be lost
 It just needs to be maintained
 A small town in ohio
 Two boys are filled with violence
 And darkness spreads it's legs for hate and ignorence
 We are given to god to put our faith therein
 But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin
 We've made houses for hatred
 It's time to make a place
 Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
 Be careful with each other
 These fragile flames
 For innocence can't be lost
 It just needs to be maintained
 I want to live bravely and love without fear
 I want always to feel the wings of grace near
 We all will be christed when we hear ourselves say
 We are that to which we pray
 We've made houses for hatred
 It's time to make a place
 Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
 Be careful with each other
 These fragile flames
 We've made houses for hatred
 It's time to make a place
 Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
 Be careful with each other
 These fragile flames
 For innocence can't be lost
 It just needs to be maintained
