[[Multitracks]] for this song were released in [http://remix.nin. It begins with looping percussion com raw WAV, GarageBand and soon enough vocals beginAbleton Live formats] via [[remix. Just before the chorus, a line of synth plays as a climax buildsnin.com]]. The chorus contains mechanical and robotic noisessong's drum pattern is very similar to that of "[[God Given]]".
=== The 'Presence' Reference World of Year Zero reference===[http://www.onecountryatatime.net/letter.htm This] has lyrics from MVH. Most likely MVH 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 [[Image:MVH lin.gifThe Warning (Year Zero song)|300px|left|thumb|Viewed through a linear spectrometer.The Warning]][[Image:MVH log.jpg|300px|left|thumb|Viewed through a logarithmic spectrometer.]]
=== 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.

===My Violent Heart (Leak Version)===
This version of the song has the static at the end of the song, revealing "The Presence".
===My Violent Heart: PRM Dance Mix===
'''''Running Time: 2:34'''''
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.== Lyrics ==Song Credits====*Remix and additional production by Pirate Robot Midget at Fakefriends Studio, Netherlands
==Lyrics== 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
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot can not stop us all You wear our bones Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naïvetynaïveté
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 We will be there
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot can not stop us all Our blood will Will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot can not stop us all Our blood, our Our grace
Will never leave this place
