Could you use a LyricHyphen and just lengthen it to look like an em dash?

%%%%
lyricEmDash = {
  \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #5
  \override LyricHyphen.length = #2.5
}

\relative b' { \time 3/4 b4 b2 | b4 b2 \bar "|." }
\addlyrics { Lo -- \once \lyricEmDash rem -- ips -- um. }
%%%%

Just know that you need to do the appropriate \overrides before the LyricText preceding the LyricHyphen.
