}}'''"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]].
==About=====World of Year Zero reference===[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.
===The 'Presence' Reference===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]]".

===Leak===
At the [[2007/02/12|February 12th, 2007]] [[Nine Inch Nails |Nine Inch Nails]] concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. It was later found to hold a single MP3 file with the title "My Violent Heart". The numeric sequence "[[24.3.2]]" was found within the MP3's ID3 tag of the leaked copy.
This version of the song has the static at the end of the song, revealing "The Presence".
===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.
