Jewel - Innocence Maintained Lyrics
Ophelia drowned in the waterCrushed by her own weightAnd hitler loved little blue-eyed boysAnd it drove him to hate.Birds always grow silent before the night descendsCause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bendA heros torso built of steel and novicaneHis heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frameThere was a hole inside his soulA manicure could not fillSo he found himself a whore to loveWhile daisies choked on the windowsillWeve made houses for hatredIts time we make a place wherePeoples souls may be seen and made safeBe careful with each other these fragile flamesInnocence cant be lost it just needs to be maintainedA small town in ohio, 2 boys are filled with violenceAs night in the darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance.We are given to a God to put his faith thereinBut to be forgiven we must first believe in sin.Weve made houses for hatredIts time we make a place wherePeoples souls may be seen and made safeBe careful with each other these fragile flamesInnocence cant be lost it just needs to be maintainedStrange current pulling, a sleepless ebb and flow.Me, I drift sideways, and you, I dont know.I want to live bravely and love without fear.I want to always feel the wings of great near.We all will be christed when we hear ourselves sayWe are that to which we pray.Weve made houses for hatredIts time we make a place wherePeoples souls may be seen and made safeBe careful with each other these fragile flamesInnocence cant be lost it just needs to be maintained.
