Emily

Woke up to find

I lost my mind

Lost heart, lost nerve

I lost my favorite word

Emily

I take my cigarettes, I give 'em a smoke

Oh God, my heart feels froze

I've lost something it seems

I've misplaced my favorite thing

Emily

Where does love go if it can't find a home?

One moment here, then gone with no forwarding address

Love no longer has a house or residence in flesh

I take the keys, I get in the car

To out run this, man, I'd have to go real far

Where mercy wears lace and bottles are thieves

Which of these took you from me?

Emily

I face myself but there's a draft inside

Parts of me are drowned in perpetual tide

I wanna call names, I wanna throw things around

But no bar can buy forgiveness, another round for Emily

Where does love go if it can't find a home?

One moment here, then gone with no forwarding address

Love no longer has a house or residence in flesh

I go in the bedroom, turn on the light

It's like an empty altar, no angel in sight

Religion with no temple, no place to take my worship to

No god for my eyes to see, no fruit to lay at the feet of Emily

Gone

Gone
