Mona Lisa - Louie Elser & Stylolive

I think she got what she wanted Waited a week before she even responded We had a couple friends in common when I met her Wasn't worried, but I should've been I think she knew what she was doing getting into my car Outside Amoeba Music or the standard bar Independent when I met her Now she's my only medicine When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place (For the record) This is not what I wanted I wanted my heart to remain in my pocket She took it out and wrote her name right on it And now I'm only borrowing How come every time I leave,I can't breathe as deep? I'm always staying on the call while she falls asleep Might call it codependency, look at me Freezing while she's showering When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place

I've always played the part of Shakespeare I hide behind the ink and pen I build up worlds and choose a savior (savior, savior) I write beginning, middle, end I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa So is there anybody out there Who could change my point of view? The way that Van Gogh uses yellow or the self in Frida Kahlo I could be that for you I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter (think I'm ready, baby) I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby) The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah (the kinda girl that you can dream of maybe) And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa I think I'm ready for my close-up, baby There's nothing left to do, and nothing left to lose Let me be your muse (ah-ah) Ah-ah, I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby, ah-ah Ah-ah, the kinda girl that you can dream of And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa (ah-ah-ah) ah-ah

El sol en tu espalda Yo te di todos mis huesos Ya sabía que se iba a morir Y así que me desperté El sol en tu espalda Yo te di todos mis huesos Ya sabía que se iba a morir Y así que me desperté I dreamt of washing my hair with lemon Rose water cleansing bare melanin You play Solange and use my body Bedroom neon like 1990 I dreamt of washing my hair with lemon Rose water cleansing bare melanin You play Solange and use my body Bedroom neon like 1990 He tenido otro sueño Y vivimos en Francia Ya sabía que no era la verdad Todavía ya comía de tus manos He tenido otro sueño Y vivimos en Francia Ya sabía que no era la verdad Todavía ya comía de tus manos I dreamt of washing my hair with lemon Rose water cleansing bare melanin You play Solange and use my body Bedroom neon like 1990 I dreamt of washing my hair with lemon Rose water cleansing bare melanin You play Solange and use my body Bedroom neon like 1990

I live in slow motion Despite how fast my heart beats all of the time A seance takes over me White light, my time misplaced when u look into my eyes It's the way you talk in monochrome And how we sync like a metronome I wanna let you know I'll be your video star and dance in the dark for you I'll please you right where you are If that's what you want me to The colors, resurrective Nostalgic for a time and a love that isn't mine Sensation over fantasy Distract me from the things that make me wanna die I watch you talk in monochrome And we sync like a metronome I wanna let you know I'll be your video star and dance in the dark for you I'll please you right where you are If that's what you want me to Dance for me Dance for me You wanna dance for me Dance for me I wanna dance for you Dance for you And be seen how I wanna be

Run, baby, run, girl is a gun and Trouble's gonna come for you Spun from the drugs, you and your heroin You shaved all your hair off in a mood Everything dies, even the lies You can never hide the truth When it's in your blood, hurting your guts Squirting out of you like juice That's why, baby, I went crazy 27 club Where wounds glow in the dark and that's why I have a neon heart Leave, baby, leave, Love's a disease, I can feel it in my throat I'm watching your mouth spit up your doubts And swallow in the blackened smoke I never signed up for the 27 club where wounds glow in the dark That's why I've got a neon colored heart And cocaine broken bones That's why, baby, I went crazy 27 club Where wounds glow in the dark and that's why I have a neon heart Nothing reminds me of you like cigarettes against my face Walked so shamelessly into your chokehold of an embrace And that's why, baby, I went crazy 27 club Where wounds glow in the dark and that's why I have a neon heart

I warned myself I knew what loving it would do to me Some countless crimes I hid my face, didn't want you to see A thousand times I dreamt my way through a paradise where we got high High We got high High in Paris skies (I wanna feel at home) (I wanna feel at home) We ran like queens We kissed and smoked until our lips would bleed 64 teeth chewing our way through these Paris streets Where we felt free We felt free Where we felt free We felt free in these Paris streets (I wanna feel at home) (I wanna feel at home) (I wanna feel at home) We outgrew our feet We knew we'd never leave these Paris streets, These Paris dreams We outgrew our feet We knew we'd never leave these Paris streets, These Paris dreams We outgrew our feet We knew we'd never leave these Paris streets, These Paris dreams We outgrew our feet We knew we'd never leave these Paris streets, These Paris dreams 64 teeth chewing our way through these Paris streets Where we got high High in Paris skies High High in Paris skies I wanna feel at home

Heaven is a hell that I've tried to escape You don't know me well but I don't either Your sins taste just like marmalade I'm afraid but I'll play if you ask me I took my flight down from the sky Where I first came alive That's right I said it I'm an angel from heaven But the devil became me Leo, Gemini, I'm a borderline baby Burnt out, I doubt you'd notice me now Chewed out, Your mouth breaking me down I'll be your ashtray When you need to pour into, I'm a performer for you Blue and brown into filthy So you can stay healthy, it's cool For you For you Bring me my soul (x4) Heaven is a hell that I tried to escape You don't know me well but I know you wanna play Borderline mind, Leo, Gemini, I'm the devil in your bed but an angel in your eyes, Oh Burnt out, I doubt you'd notice me now Chewed out, Your mouth breaking me down I'll be your ashtray When you need to pour into, I'm a performer for you Blue and brown into filthy You can stay healthy, it's cool For you Bring me my soul I left it at home in the ashtray Bring me my heart I left it in the shards of the glass tray

Oh, I can be a slave for you I'll wash your feet with my hair Or I can be an animal Chasing you when you're scared I was never made for you But I like to pretend I'd rather have a smoke or two  But here we are again Here we are again Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Spinning is around so surreal We're made of holograms, digital love Oceans between physical touch Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Like a Ferris wheel I think about the shapes we make When our bodies are fed up I think I've heard it all before But I want your attention You wrap around me like a snake I have to catch a plane My chest is bulletproof but You kill me once again Here we are again Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Spinning us around so surreal We're made of holograms, digital love Oceans between physical touch Here we go again like a Ferris wheel Like a Ferris wheel
