Matt Waters - Been Through Lyrics

What is left?
After all this nothing
Where there was supposed to be something
Making sense of me

The hockey rink lights
Illuminate the blacktop night
In this empty park
Always inside of me

And how could I know you would reject me?
The alms burning in my palms
The chaos of my memory
All you wanted was my property
You cared nothing for my psalms
Only enforcing your homilies

Been through, been through
Learning this to be true
The ghost of love
Doesn't collect unpaid dues

Been through, been through
Drinking 40s with the crew
Because dying for a high
Gave us something to do

What comes next?
After the rising of the sea
And the flood's indifferent
To who we hoped to be

We exit to the side street
Tilting in the mad summer heat
A lyric for the disappeared
Content to be unseen

And I tried but couldn't find someone to sell me
Teenage misogynist catalyzed by loneliness
Unmarketable authenticity
All I really wanted was for you to know me
You said you knew something about love
But you never did show me

Been through, been through
Making promises to you
Before your rent got too high
And you could lie to someone new

Been through, been through
These years that flew
Amid days like winter sparrows
Numb to this coldness too
