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 hero's 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 found himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the window

sill

We've made houses for hatred

It's time to make 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

A small town in Ohio

Two boys are filled with violence

And darkness spreads it's legs for hate and ignorence

We are given to 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 to make 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

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 to make 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 to make 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
