Rip My Heart Out Lyrics

I might be a bit of a misanthrope

But here's why going to museums with me ain't fun

Cause I like the people who painted the pictures

Better than I like everyone

Even though most of them are dead men

And all of them had their issues

I look at Japanese art

And start to forget why I missed you

And I promise myself

I'm going to paint something like that

I'm going to do something like that

I'm going to do something eye-catching just like that

You see, when I'm there I wanna sell my soul to the art and to the artist

I believe pen and paper is the way I explore my own catharsis

And Kandisky made me wish I could paint with synesthesia

Picasso's the one thing I remember through my childhood's amnesia

Frida lives on in the souls of women like my mother

I don't know what it is about them, but they always pushed me further

And I promise myself

I'm going to paint something like that

I'm going to do something like that

I'm going to do something eye-catching just like that

And I'd give anything to be

Botticelli's Mercury

And live my life happy, wild and free

There's nothing that I wouldn't give

To paint something like that

And be just like John Everett Millais

I'm going to do something eye-catching just like that

(Rip my heart out) I'm going to paint something like that

(If you rip my heart out) I'm going to do something just like that

(Rip my heart out) I'm going to do something eye-catching just like that
