Chorus:
Dm               A#
Where would you rather be?
Gm      F    Dm
Anywhere but here
              A#
When will the time be right?
Gm           F
Anytime but now

       Em
On the edge of sleep,
I was drifting for half the night
Anxious and restless,
pressed down by the darkness
              Am
Bound up and wound up so tight
        F
So tight.
Em
So many decisions, a million revisions
Caught between darkness and light

A              C#m
Wilderness of mirrors
                    A
World of polished steel
                C#m
Gears and iron chains
                    A
Turn the grinding wheel
                   C#m
I run between the shadows
                             B   A
Some are phantoms, some are real

Chorus

Where would you rather be?
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here...

On the edge of sleep,
I heard voices behind the door
The known and the nameless,
familiar and faceless
My angels and my demons at war
At war...
Which one will lose depends on what I choose
Or maybe which voice I ignore...

Wilderness of mirrors
Streets of cold desire
My precious sense of honor
Just a shield of rusty wire
I hold against the chaos
And the cross of holy fire

Chorus

Where would you rather be?
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here...

Wilderness of mirrors
So easy to deceive
My precious sense of rightness
Is sometimes so naive
So that which I imagine
Is that which I believe

On the edge of sleep,
I awoke to a sun so bright
Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness
I knew which direction was right
Was right...
The case had been tried by the jury inside
The choice between darkness and light...
The choice between darkness and light
