Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Jewel - 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 īCause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend A heroīs 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 fund himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the window sill Weīve made houses for hatred Itīs time we made a place Where peopleīs souls may be seen and made safe Be careful with each other These fragile flames For innocence canīt be lost It just needs to be maintained A small town in Ohio Two boys are filled with violence And darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance We are given to a god to put our faith therein But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin Weīve made houses for hatred Itīs time we made a place Where peopleīs souls may be seen and made safe Be careful with eachother These fragile flames For without fear I want always to feel the wings of grace near We all will be Christed wen we hear ourselves say We are that which we pray Weīve made houses for hatred Itīs time we made a place Where peopleīs souls maybe seen and made safe Be careful with each other These fragile flames Weīve built houses for hatred Itīs time we made a place Where peopleīs souls may be seen and made safe Be careful with each other These fragile flames For innocence canīt be lost It just needs to be maintained
