Make it good.
Make it all I can see.
Make it sink to my bones.
I'll sink to my knees.
Fill my head like a good sound.
Fill my lungs like a strong belief.
Let me drink I'm so thirsty.
I'll dunk my head in it and have my hair dripping.
You don't have to fix my life.
You don't have to do anything right.
I'm so ready to quit my past.
Just distract me.
Make it last.
Can you make me...
forget everything I'm not but should be.
forget my name and who I am, it bores me.
forget the love I didn't get when I could have used it.
forget the love that I got and how I refused it.
Forget everything I want but don't have.
Forget that I want to be more than what I am.
I'm looking for the beauty that knocks me out.

Story Behind the Song:
Listen, I know there's no savior and you have to find your own way out of whatever mess you're in, but when you come home from work and it was hard even to deal with people, have them around you and wanting things from you, even a look, some bit of small talk (excrutiating small talk) and you keep struggling for these things you said you wanted and you can't remember why anyone does anything, and you look at the rest of your life and it seems like a long, long time to do all the things involved with living, then you yearn for what all godless hussies yearn for - what they know is not there - a huge, loud distraction. A pleasure so big it smacks you down into amnesia. Ah... amnesia. There are so many things in those godless-hussy-moments that would be great to forget. That's when you need that beauty that knocks you out. The phrase, "The beauty that knocks you out," comes from Alexandra Marquardt who was speaking about transformation through beauty, big beauty, in New York City in September, 2005. What a concept.
