I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice      'Are the worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice      The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice      While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice         Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask      I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask      None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in      I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin         He's fallen on the ice, it cracks      Will he plunge in and join me here?      He meets my eyes, to my surprise      He laughs in full light of my frown      My double wants to pull me down         Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone      The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own      I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul      He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control         And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time      He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine      Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights      Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.         chorus 2x
