Kilcher Jewel - Innocence Maintained lyrics

rate me

Ophelia drowned in the waterCrushed by her own weightHitler

loved little blue eyed boysand it drove him to hateBirds

always grow silent before the night descendsCause nature

has a funny way of breaking what does not bendA heroes

torso built of steel and novocaineHis heart a bitter

beat inside a bloodless frameThere was hole inside

his soul a manicure could not fillSo he found himself

a whore to loveWhile daisies choked in the window sillWe've

made houses for hatredIt's time we make a place wherePeople's

souls may be seen and made safeWe must be careful with

each other these fragile flamesInnocence can't be lost

it just needs to be maintainedA small town in Ohio,

two boys are filled with violenceAnd night spreads

its legs for hate and ignoranceWe are given to a God

to put our faith there inBut to be forgiven we must

first believe in sinWe've made houses for hatredIt's

time we make a place wherePeople's souls may be seen

and made safeWe must be careful with each other these

fragile flamesInnocence can't be lost it just needs

to be maintainedSome like the Yankees,

some like the Mets Me I like red sox but onlyon pets

I want to live bravely, and love without fearI want

always to feel the wings of grace nearWe all will be

Christed when we hear ourselves saywe are that to which

we pray.We've made houses for hatredIt's time we make

a place wherePeople's souls may be seen and made safeWe

must be careful with each other these fragile flamesInnocence

can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
