Shutting You Out - The Rare Occasions

I’ve given up a part of me by holding onto you

The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you

And I could be your ghost

The nuzzle at your nose

I’ve tried and tried but now

I’m shutting you out

Emptiness, it fell to bits and slithered back to shore

And I won’t be the ballast, babe — can’t do this anymore

And I could be your ghost

The nuzzle at your nose

I’ve tried and tried but now

I’m shutting you out

It isn’t me

Honeybee

I am a goner

Sure was an honor

I’ve given up a part of me by holding onto you

The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you

I’m shutting you out

I’m shutting you out

I’m shutting you out
