Ari Wilde - 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 paintings
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 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
