(First Verse)
Too many nights locked up in this cell
Told me your love was good, but it burned like hell
And I see through unopened eyes
Platinum dreams are my future, that's what I surmise
(Pre-Chorus)
Drownin' out sounds of you baby
Haven't been feelin' myself lately
Eluding these walls that contain me
Goodbye to the petals of the daisy
(Chorus)
Burn Mona Lisa
You're not as perfect as I thought you were
Keep your eyes locked on me
Well I'll escape your binding glare
Yeah, you're the hand that feeds me
But, I see past those oil pastels
Say you don't want to hurt me,
But you might as well
(Second Verse)
Can't look to the past now
Forever it's black now
I'm not going back
No...no
Find strength in some whiskey
Try to fight me I'm not losing
Cause, I'm the owner of myself again
(Pre-Chorus)
Drownin' out sounds of you baby
Haven't been feelin' myself lately
Eluding these walls that contain me
Goodbye to the petals of the daisy
(Chorus)
Burn Mona Lisa
You're not as perfect as I thought you were
Keep your eyes locked on me
Well I'll escape your binding glare
Yeah, you're the hand that feeds me
But, I see past those oil pastels
Say you don't want to hurt me,
But you might as well
(Bridge)
Stop...take a look around
I used to think you were beautiful,
But what are you now?
And underneath those brush strokes
Without that mask that you put on,
Oh you're such a joke
(Pre-Chorus)
Drownin' out sounds of you baby
Haven't been feelin' myself lately
Eluding these walls that contain me
Goodbye to the petals of the daisy
(Chorus)
Burn Mona Lisa
You're not as perfect as I thought you were
Keep your eyes locked on me
Well I'll escape your binding glare
Yeah, you're the hand that feeds me
But, I see past those oil pastels
Say you don't want to hurt me,
Well I hurt myself
