Innocence Maintained Lyrics

Innocence Maintained

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
