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's 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 that you'll never understand
Can you hear it now? Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?

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

You have set something in motion, much greater then 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 seem to 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 can not 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 ways
Will never leave this place
