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|The Warning (Year Zero song)|The Warning]].

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.

This fan mix by Pirate Robot Midget was initially posted at [http://www.ninremixes.com NIN Remixes] and can be heard on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' 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.===My Violent Heart (Year Zero version)=Song Credits====This version of the song does not have the static *Remix and additional production by Pirate Robot Midget at the end of the songFakefriends Studio, Netherlands ==Live=="My Violent Heart" [[NIN songs never played live|has never been played live]].

you You and i I we may look the same but But we are very far apart thereThere's bullet holes where my compassion used to be and And there is violence in my heart into Into fire you can send us from From the fire we return you You can label us a consequence of Of how much you have to learn

you You can try but you'll never understand this This is something you will never understand can Can you hear it now? hear Hear it coming now? can Can you hear it now?

on On hands and knees we We crawl you You can not stop us all you You wear our bones our Our skin we We will not let you in

you You have set something in motion much Much greater than you've ever known standing Standing there in your all your grand naïveté about About to reap what you have sown time Time will feed upon your weaknesses and And soon you'll lose the will to care when When you return to the place that you call home we We will be there we We will be there

on On hands and knees we We crawl you You can not stop us all our Our blood will Will stay we We will not go away on On hands and knees we We crawl you You can not stop us all our Our blood our Our grace will Will never leave this place The fourth line of the first chorus is shortened in the actual recording: Y0 booklet page: 11Our bones
