[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
A hero's torso built of steel and novicane
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 on the windowsill

[Chorus]
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make 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

[Verse 3]
A small town in Ohio, 2 boys are filled with violence
As night in the darkness spreads it's legs for hate and ignorance
We are given to a god to put his faith therein
But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin

[Chorus]
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make 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

[Bridge]
I want to live bravely and love without fear
I want to always feel the wings of Grace near
We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say
We are that to which we pray

[Chorus]
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make 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
