| live = [[NIN songs never played live|Unperformed]]}}'''"My Violent Heart"''' is the eighth track and was the first song to leak from the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]]''. [[Multitracks]] for this song were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV, GarageBand , and Ableton Live formats] via [[remix.nin.com]]. The song's drum pattern is very similar to that of "[[God Given]]".

[http://www.onecountryatatime.net/letter.htm [One Country At A Time|Thissite]] from the album's [[Year_Zero#Alternate_Reality_Game|alternate reality game]] has lyrics from MVH"My Violent Heart". Most likely MVH , the song is about this particular World of Year Zero character.

An amazing discovery was made while analyzing the content of the leaked 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. In the album version of the song, the static and image are not present. They are at the end of "[[The Warning (Year Zero song)|The Warning]]".

This is the album version of the song. It 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. The song's drum pattern is very similar to that of "[[God Given]]". These beats are [[samples|sampled]] from ''Atom Heart's Rather Interesting World Of Digital Drums'' sample library by Atomizer™.

===My Violent Heart: PRM Dance MixPirate Robot Midget==='''''Running Time: 2:34''''' This fan mix by Pirate Robot Midget can be found on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D'' and was initially posted at [http://www.[ninremixes.com NIN Remixes] and can be heard on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D] under the title "My Violent Heart: PRM Dance Mix".'' It contains a more dance-oriented beat than the album original and has a considerably shorter running time than the album original. Interestingly enough, the version that appears on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D'' has some sound elements not heard in the original remix, the most noticeable of which is a beeping noise heard in the background. This sound is almost reminiscent of an ECG (electrocardiograph) machine commonly found in hospitals.
