My Violent Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?
[Chorus 1]
On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
[Verse 2]
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?
[Chorus 1]
On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
[Verse 2]
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
About
Genius Annotation
“My Violent Heart” begins with looping percussion and vocals soon enter. Just before the chorus, a synthesizer plays as a climax builds. The chorus contains mechanical and robotic noises layered in a very industrial way, creating a very rhythmic wall of sound. The bridge of the song contains guitar parts that have been heavily edited and chopped up.
