 A#             F 
Vacant angel, crimson light
 A#                 F 
Darkened eyelash, darkened eye
     A# 
The white light of the living room
                     F 
Leaking through the crack in the door
 A#               F          A#   F 
There was never need for more
 A#                    F 
Things we're meant to understand
 A#               F 
Crawling closer to your hand

Chorus:
Am      F
To the poison image
 A#       F
Brave surrender
 A#       F   G
Kiss the water

After all my teeth are gone
After all the blood is drawn
The white light of the waiting room
Leaking through the crack in the door

Chorus:
Through the poison image
Brave surrender
Kiss the water

Through the mirror, mountain view
She has one green, one eye blue
I can see her smiling through
The white light of the living room
Leaking through the crack in the door
