The Message Songtext
von Archetypes Collide

This is who I am
Take it or leave it, my life′s in your hands
I won't delay and hide
Remove this mask that′s hiding what's inside

No more gimmicks, no more hyping it up
I'll step forth and show what I′ve got
It′s time to face the music, or better yet
Let the music face it's life or death

Hype will fade, substance stays
Hype will fade, substance will stay

Hear me out on the words that I say
You′ve gotta give up this life to save your own life
To give yourself is to gain everything
To cut off the branches that won't provide
To die to yourself and be made alive inside

I′ve waited long enough
I've waited long enough
I′ve waited long enough


It's come time to put it all on the line
And if the road gets rough
Just know this dream will never die
Will never die

Hear me out on the words that I say
You've gotta give up this life to save your own life
To give yourself is to gain everything
To cut off the branches that won′t provide
To die to yourself and be made alive inside

This is my message to the world
This is my message to the world
This is my message to the world
This is my message to the world
Yeah
All I want if for you to see the life I live
And to live it vicariously

Hear me out on the words that I say
You′ve gotta give up this life to save your own life
To give yourself is to gain everything
To cut off the branches that won't provide
To die to yourself and be made alive inside


Make me alive inside
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
Make me alive
