Jewel - Innocence Maintained lyrics

rate me

Ophelia drowned in the water<br>Crushed by her own weight<br>And hitler loved little blue-eyed boys<br>And it drove him to hate.<br>Birds always grow silent before the night descends<br>Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend<br><br>A hero's torso built of steel and novicane<br>His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame<br>There was a hole inside his soul<br>A manicure could not fill<br>So he found himself a whore to love<br>While daisies choked on the windowsill<br><br>We've made houses for hatred<br>It's time we make a place where<br>People's souls may be seen and made safe<br>Be careful with each other these fragile flames<br>Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained<br><br>A small town in ohio, 2 boys are filled with violence<br>As night in the darkness spreads it's legs for hate and ignorance.<br>We are given to a God to put his faith therein<br>But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin.<br><br>We've made houses for hatred<br>It's time we make a place where<br>People's souls may be seen and made safe<br>Be careful with each other these fragile flames<br>Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained<br><br>Strange current pulling, a sleepless ebb and flow.<br>Me, I drift sideways, and you, I don't know.<br>I want to live bravely and love without fear.<br>I want to always feel the wings of great near.<br>We all will be christed when we hear ourselves say<br>We are that to which we pray.<br><br>We've made houses for hatred<br>It's time we make a place where<br>People's souls may be seen and made safe<br>Be careful with each other these fragile flames<br>Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained.
