Tema
Una pista cruda y autobiográfica sobre la adicción a las drogas, haciendo referencia específica a la metanfetamina (o 'ice'). La letra describe vívidamente el ciclo destructivo de buscar una euforia, la sensación de estar atrapado por el 'hambre' de la adicción y la realización autodestructiva de que el 'boleto de ida hacia abajo' conduce a una muerte en vida.
Letra
He said he'd try just a little bit
He didn't want to end up like them
And now he blames the voices of a toothless wonder
Pounding on the door to make the next score
Anything for a hit, any sin to pay for it
For that next bowl, he'd sell his soul
Spiral to destruction, it's too late to break the spell
He wants the ride to stop on the freight train straight to hell
Without the truth he'll never find in a dungeon of his lies
His cause of death, high speed on burnt ice
Always looking at the ground, a broken, beaten man
Memories of his family are calling after him
He can hardly thing, hardly walk
Phone keeps ringing, he can't talk
With just one hit the pain would go away
But he's dead if he does
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes
Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia grows
