M

Basket Case

She swallowed an ocean
And showered a lake of fire
She used to write with serrated teeth
And annoint fear within a choir
Underneath a dying sun
She'd sculpt with memories and disease 
It's said she danced in the ruins
Killing from root to leaf
Upon a balcony
Of tobacco and wine
She sang and she swayed
With a smile of swine
 
Her name was mental Mary 
Forever she would stay
Til death lent a hand
And the voices ate her brain
