Kill Each Other/Live Forever
Scars on Broadway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the one that's calling inside of your brain
I am the one that makes you feel all the shame
Never mind my name

We don't wanna believe
That the world can still move on
We don't wanna believe
That the sun can still shine on

If we gonna kill each other, how we gonna live forever?
If we gonna live forever, how we gonna kill each other?

I am the one that's calling inside of your brain
I am the one that makes you feel all the shame
Never mind my name

We don't wanna believe
That the world can still move on
We don't wanna believe
That the sun can still shine on

If we gonna kill each other, how we gonna live forever?
If we gonna live forever, how we gonna kill each other?

If we gonna kill each other, how we gonna live forever?
If we gonna live forever, how we gonna kill each other?

We don't wanna believe
That the world can still move on
We don't wanna believe
That the sun can still shine on

We don't wanna believe (ooh)
That the world can still move on
We don't wanna believe
That the sun can still shine on





I am the one that's calling inside of your brain
