My Violent Heart

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

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 cannot stop us all

you wear 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 naivety

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 cannot 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

We crawl

We crawl

We crawl

We crawl
