You built this world around you, your universe
In spite of best intentions, things could not be worse
Chaos and fear left you hangin' by a thread
As you argue with the voice inside your head

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Givin' up yourself won't set you free

Misgivings and dismay, nightmares of wasted days
Can't live your life this way, something needs to change
Healthy, accepting thoughts, intent on driving us
Avoidance at all costs, a painful thing to watch

Fear can't live inside you
Push you to the edge
Face the fear within you
Wake up from the dead

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Givin' up yourself won't set you free
Set you free

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Open your heart, be set free

    General CommentLyrics posted above are wrong, but unfortunately are under copyright and are 99% unlikely to be changed. Proper lyrics from the official album booklet as follows:

    You've built this world around you
    Your universe
    In spite of best intentions
    Things could not be worse

    Chaos and fear have left you
    Hanging by a thread
    As you argue with the voice inside your head

    Untethered angel
    Falling into darkness
    Don't be afraid of letting go
    Giving up yourself will set you free

    Misgiving and dismay
    Nightmares and wasted days
    Can't live your life this way
    Something needs to change

    Cold feet and second thoughts
    Entangled, tied in knots
    Avoidance at all costs
    A painful thing to watch

    Fear can live inside you
    Push you to the edge
    Face the fear within you
    Wake up from the dead

    Untethered angel
    Falling into darkness
    Don't be afraid of letting go
    Giving up yourself will set you free
    Set you free

    Untethered angel
    Falling into darkness
    Don't be afraid of letting go
    Open your heart
    Be set free

    My OpinionPeople who live inside a bubble. The writer wants that person to be rescued. When the writer adds 'angel' associated with that person, he adds religious/spiritual meaning to the whole rescuing action.
