Verse 1:
DOphelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
CHitler loved little blue-eyed boys
CAnd it drove him to hate
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
D G?Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
Verse 2:
A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain
DHis heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
C DThere was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
So he found himself a whore to love
GWhile daises choked in the window sill
Chorus
We've made houses for hatred
GIt's time we made a place
D C GWhere people's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other, these fragile flames
D C D C GFor innocence can't be lost, it just needs to be maintained
Verse 3:
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
Bridge:
Verse 4:
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 2x
