Revision as of 03:19, 5 April 2007
"My Violent Heart" is the eighth track and was the first song to leak from the 2007 release Year Zero. It begins with looping percussion and soon enough vocals begin. Just before the chorus, a line of synth plays as a climax builds. The chorus contains mechanical and robotic noises.

The 'Presence' Reference
An amazing discovery was made while analyzing the content of the MP3. In the last few seconds of the song there is an awkward bit of static. Running the audio file through an audio spectrometer, a distinct image was found within the static. It is indeed "The Presence" from the Year Zero concept.
Leak
At the February 12th, 2007 Nine Inch Nails concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. It was later found to hold a single MP3 file with the title "My Violent Heart". The numeric sequence "24.3.2" was found within the MP3's ID3 tag of the leaked copy.

Lyrics
You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naïveté
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
