Chorus
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 disco - ver
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 revolution,
My alma, my mater,
And now I can let go
my old addictive solutions
Verse 2
I used to be a connoisseur
of hate, self hate, paternal hate,
Hate cum gratis,
I connected every kind,
I was sipping it like red wine,
The insecurity was mine,
The ties that bind were my design
Bridge
The sun is still unkind
to those like you and me,
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
