The walls spoke to me

Did you tell her about The edge of the Universe, Where the stars don't blink, And you bathe in a sea of your sins, The colors spoke to you, In poetry and lies, Desaturate your mind, And step in through the blinds. Is there anybody on this frequency Listening to this voiceless prayer? I want to go from here. Painless offering of winged snakes, Take flight down a road, Where blind men see, And snakes talk in ancient tongues. Buses blue and yellow, Take you to the playground Where the pilgrims disappeared in holy smoke. Black holes greet you with open arms, Into the war-torn fields of red, So beautiful, so bloody, so red. Staring at your defenseless eyes, Headless hunters, brainless, Seek you to join them. Desert child, Did the sun blind you? Did the heat seep in through your skin And burn you inside? You've been digging at the wrong end, The light will blind you, Misguide you, The exit is to the west. Hurry. There's a storm coming. Get out !
