Artist/Band: Alkaline Trio
Lyrics for Song: Emma
Lyrics for Album: Good Mourning [2003]



Emma appeared like an angel

Emma fell like rain

Into my lap like a heart attack, like lightning from her name

I'm running dry of bad excuses

Don't want to lie or seem intrusive

But time hasn't told me anything, and neither has she



A poinsettia in poison rain

Traded true love for insult and injury

We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin

With two vicodin



Emma woke up in darkness, suitcase already packed

Note on the bedstand signed in blood, "Sincerely, never coming back."

A nightmare on my street the day she arrived

A nightmarish household in which she died, because it made her feel at home

Somehow made me feel at home



A poinsettia in poison rain

Traded true love for insult and injury

We washed it down the drain with one wooden stake through the heart and two vicodin



A poinsettia in poison rain

Traded true love for insult and injury

We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin

We watched the sun fall crown on a city that sleeps in a world upside down

A slow ticket straight out of town

You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground

With you all my dreams underground
