emma appeared like an angel
emma fell like rain
into my lap like a heart attack
like lightning from her name
im running dry of bad excuses
don't wanna lie or seem intrusive
but time hasn't told me anything
and neither has she

a pointsettia in poison rain
traded true love for insult and injury
we washed it down the drain
with one silver bullet and 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
cause it made her feel at home
somehow made me feel at home

a pointsettia in poison rain
traded true love for insult and injury
we washed it down the drain
with one wooden stake to the heart and two vicodin

a pointsettia in posion 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
with you all my dreams underground
with you all my dreams underground
