Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Where would you rather be? Anywhere but here When will the time be right? Anytime but now On the edge of sleep, I was drifting for half the night Anxious and restless, pressed down by the darkness Bound up and wound up so tight So many decisions, a million revisions Caught between darkness and light… Wilderness of mirrors World of polished steel Gears and iron chains Turn the grinding wheel I run between the shadows Some are phantoms, some are real Where would you rather be? Anywhere but here  When will the time be right? Anytime but now  The doubt and the fear I know …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Love is born with lightning bolts Electro-magnetic force Burning skin and fireworks A storm on a raging course Like a force of nature, Love can fade with the stars at dawn Sometimes it takes all your strength Just to keep holding on  At the speed of love A radiance that travels At the speed of love My heart goes out to you   Love is born with solar flares From two magnetic poles It moves towards a higher plane Where two halves make two wholes Like a force of nature, Love shines in many forms One night we are bathed in light One day carried away …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart You and I, we are strangers by one chromosome Slave to the hormone, body and soul In a struggle to be happy and free Swimming in a primitive sea You and I, we must dive below the surface A world of red neon, and ultramarine Shining bridges on the ocean floor Reaching to the alien shore For you and me — Sex is not a competition For you and me — Sex is not a job description For you and me — We agree You and I, we are pressed into these solitudes Color and culture, language and race Just variations on a theme Islands …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart and Pye Dubois There is a lake between sun and moon Not too many know about In the silence between whisper and shout The space between wonder and doubt This is a fine place Shining face to face Those bonfire lights in the mirror of sky The space between wonder and why ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes why the sun why the sun There is a fine line between love and illusion — A fine place to penetrate The gap between actor and act The lens between wishes and fact This is a fine place To hesitate Those bonfire lights in the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart I knew he was different, in his sexuality I went to his parties, as a straight minority It never seemed a threat to my masculinity He only introduced me to a wider reality As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that he was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart But he’s nobody’s — Hero — saves a drowning child Cures a wasting disease Hero — lands the crippled airplane Solves great mysteries Hero — not the handsome actor Who plays a hero’s role Hero — not the glamor girl Who’d love to sell her soul  If anybody’s buying  NOBODY’S …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart It is the fire that lights itself But it burns with a restless flame The arrow on a moving target The archer must be sure of his aim It is the engine that drives itself But it chooses the uphill climb A bearing on magnetic north Growing farther away all the time Can’t stop — moving Can’t stop — moving Can’t stop — YOU MAY BE RIGHT IT’S ALL A WASTE OF TIME I GUESS THAT’S JUST A CHANCE I’M PREPARED TO TAKE A DANGER I’M PREPARED TO FACE CUT TO THE CHASE It is the rocket that ignites itself And launches its way to …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Trust to your instincts If it’s safely restrained Lightning reactions Must be carefully trained Heat of the moment Curse of the young Spit out your anger Don’t swallow your tongue STICK IT OUT Don’t swallow the poison SPIT IT OUT Don’t swallow your pride STICK IT OUT Don’t swallow your anger SPIT IT OUT Don’t swallow the lies Natural reflex Pendulum swing You might be too dizzy To do the right thing Trial under fire Ultimate proof Moment of crisis Don’t swallow the truth STICK IT OUT Each time we bathe our reactions In artificial light Each time we alter the focus To make the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart POLARIZE ME SENSITIZE ME CRITICIZE ME CIVILIZE ME COMPENSATE ME ANIMATE ME COMPLICATE ME ELEVATE ME Goddess in my garden Sister in my soul Angel in my armor Actress in my role Daughter of a demon-lover Empress of the hidden face Priestess of the pagan mother Ancient queen of inner space Spirit in my psyche Double in my role Alter in my image Struggle for control Mistress of the dark unconscious Mermaid of the lunar sea Daughter of the great enchantress Sister to the boy inside of me My counterpart — my foolish heart A man must learn to rule his tender part A warming …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart You can roll that stone To the top of the hill Drag your ball and chain Behind you You can carry that weight With an iron will Or let the pain remain Behind you Chip away the stone (Sisyphus) Chip away the stone Make the burden lighter If you must roll that rock alone You can drive those wheels To the end of the road You will still find the past right Behind you Try to deny The weight of the load Try to put the sins of the past night Behind you Carve away the stone (Sisyhpus) Carve away the stone Make a graven …
