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 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 a small town in ohio two boys are filled with violence and darkness spreads its 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 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 built 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
