Lyrics
The ballot ink is bleeding on the knuckle of my hand
In the quiet hum of the Orem High School band room.
First week of November, and the coffee's thin and cold,
I watch the dust motes surface in the projector's weak glow.
[Chorus]
Oh, this harbor is too shallow, pull me from the undertow,

Your current's got a hold of me, I can't let go.
[Verse 2]

And the tide is coming for the only shore I know.
Your current's got a hold of me, I can't let go.

Is that a prayer you can't refuse?
(Music swells, then cuts to a single bass note and guitar, which fade into 4 seconds of complete silence)
[Outro]
(Whispered, close-mic)
I dropped my ballot in the box.
It made no sound at all.
