Slumber Party Seance

The sun was blinding 
but not as much as your rounded oceans 
Sparkling like a firecracker 
Like the first tinges of a lighter 

Hold it up to me and see my eyebrows twitch 
As the footsteps hitch 

And I raised a glass to the great unknowns
But I didn’t mean this 

And your alcoholic whispers 
Turned into sudden slurs 
And the slurs turned into words
Spoken in tongues 

A slumber party seance 
But the thrills were getting old

Are we contacting the upper world
Or contacting your soul?
Cause there’s nothing even there anymore 

I tried to find you in a vat of nothingness 

Were we contacting the upper world
Or contacting your soul?
Cause there’s nothing even there anymore
