Innocence Maintained Lyrics - Singles - Kilcher Jewel

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
