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 heroes torso built of steel and novocaine
   His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
   There was 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 we make a place where
   People's souls may be seen and made safe
   We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
   Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
   
   A small town in Ohio, two boys are filled with violence
   And night spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
   We are given to a God to put our faith there in
   But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin
   
   We've made houses for hatred
   It's time we make a place where
   People's souls may be seen and made safe
   We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
   Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
   
   Some like the Yankees, some like the Mets Me I like red sox but only
   on pets 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 we make a place where
   People's souls may be seen and made safe
   We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
   Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
