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
