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 heroes 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 peoples 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 wings 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 peoples 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 wings of grace near
We all will be Christed wen we hear ourselves say
We are bound to which we pray

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where peoples souls maybe 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 peoples 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
