My Violent Heart
Nine Inch Nails
Year Zero (2007)

you and I, we may look the same,
but we are very far apart
because bullet holes mark where 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

we have set something in motion
much greater than you've ever known
standing there in all your grand naiveté
about to reap what you have sown

time will feed upon your weaknesses
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 can not stop us all
our blood will stain
we will not go away

on hands and knees we crawl
you can not stop us all
our blood, our brains?
will never leave this place
