Black Mona Lisa

[00:44.37] But oh I am not afraid to be a lone bohemian
[00:49.69] I can paint a portrait of myself
[00:54.40] I will call me a black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
[01:00.61] Come to discover I am your daughter
[01:09.86]
[01:14.42] The sky above me is silent and empty
[01:20.02] I am an island a little freak of melancholy
[01:26.10] But these hands they unbead your rosary of wisdom
[01:31.69] Bewitched, spellbound I'm found and returned from superstition
[01:37.66] You are my martyr I'm a vestige of a revolution
[01:42.86] My alma, my mater and now I can let go my old addictive solutions
[01:48.74] But oh I am not afraid to be a lone bohemian
[01:54.31] I can paint a portrait of myself
[02:00.27] I will call me a black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
[02:06.51] Come to discover I am
[02:15.62] Oh I am not afraid to be a lone bohemian
[02:18.54] I can paint a portrait of myself
[02:24.75] I will call me a black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
[02:30.31] Come to discover I am your daughter
[02:40.45] I used to be a connoisseur of hate, self hate, paternal hate
[02:46.18] Hate cum gratis I connected every kind
[02:51.93] Sipping it like red wine the insecurity was mine
[02:57.96] The ties that bind were my design
[03:01.65] But oh I am not afraid to be a lone bohemian
[03:06.59] I can paint a portrait of myself
[03:12.42] I will call me a black Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
[03:18.46] Come to discover I am your daughter
[03:27.07] The sun is still unkind to those like you and me
[03:34.75] Seekers of sanctuary though I'm not afraid
[03:40.96] I'm sanctified and fortified because you sacrificed
[03:48.30] I can call myself Mona Lisa
[03:53.87] Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
[03:57.69]
[04:00.23] Men have adored you
[04:06.10]
