Tolmachevy Sisters — Shine
Went driving late at night
Speeding through the dark
In our 16th birthday car
Lives changed in a flash
Then we fled the crime
Should’ve taken care on the ice
Visions of a face
Frozen in our minds
Drove too fast to stop it in time
Still can’t face what we did
Buried our regrets
In a shallow trench
Didn’t mean to kill him
Didn’t mean to hide him in the woods
Drove off in a panic
Haunted by the dents left in the hood
You’re the only one that I can trust
Anyone finds out and we’ll be cuffed
Frosty secrets can’t come out, can’t come out
No-one knows but us
I could have saved myself
You were at the wheel
But not easy when you’re a twin
I made us dig the pit
Blame for that is mine
I couldn’t risk you doing time
Keep smiling through the pain
There behind the eyes
Guilt nobody else can surmise
Although we try to live
Can’t forget that place
Pray they find no trace
Nothing in the news yet
Does nobody wonder where he’s gone?
Drove off in a cold sweat
Sobbing for the man whose life we robbed
Can’t speak of the light that we snuffed out
Silent as our inner voices shout
Frosty secrets can’t come out, can’t come out
Like the stains of blood
Haunted by a messy cover-up
Hid the shovel underneath a shrub
But can’t ever let it out, let it out
God, what have we done?
