It’s Ice Phish

[Verse 1]
I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
"Are they worms or are they 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
I'm mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask
I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask
Nonetheless reluctantly, reflections tumble in
I slide with all the others on the wrong side of the skin

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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, it's me 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 in mud with frozen mice
Waiting, calculating 'til he ventures on the ice
