nine inch nails - my violent heart


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 win

you 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 ways
will never leave this place

we crawl
we crawl
we crawl
we crawl
