Lyrics
My Violent Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You and i we may look the same
But we are very far apart
These 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 can not stop us all
You wear 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 your all your grand naiveté
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 can not stop us all
Our blood
will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood
Our grace
Will never leave this place
