Black Mona Lisa

[Chorus]
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a Black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Come to discover — I am your daughter

[Verse 1]
The sky above me is silent and empty
I am an island
A little freak of melancholy
But these hands
They unbead your rosary of wisdom
Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
And returned from superstition
You are my martyr
I'm a vestige of a revolution
My alma, my mater
And now I can let go
My old addictive solutions

[Chorus]
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a Black Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Come to discover
And oh, oh, I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a Black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Come to discover — I am your daughter

[Verse 2]
I, I, I used to be a connoisseur of hate
Self-hate, paternal hate
Hate cum gratis
I connected every kind
Sipping it like red wine
The insecurity was mine
The ties that bind were my design

[Chorus]
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian, no
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a Black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Come to discover — I am your daughter

[Outro]
The sun is still unkind
To those like you and me
Mmm, seekers of sanctuary
Though I'm not afraid
I'm sanctified and fortified
Because you sacrificed
I can call myself Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have adored you
