Jewel - Innocence Maintained lyrics

Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
And 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 hero's torso built of steel and novocaine
His heart a bitter beat
Inside a bloodless frame
There was a hole inside his soul
A manicure couldn't fill
So he found himself a whore to love
While daisies choked in the windowsill

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

In a small town in Ohio
Two boys are filled with violence
And darkness spreads it's 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

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh hey, hey hey

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 made a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other
These fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost
It just needs to be maintained

Hey, hey hey hey, hey hey
