I thought I grew up, I thought I learned it all

until one day I tried ICE, my life began to fall

I had everything in my sights, my future in my hands

What this drug can do to you, no one understands

It changes the way people look at you, “how can they judge they don’t know”

What it’s like for something to grab you, when it’s not something you chose

I thought I could control it, I thought I was strong

But somehow became a victim, a hypocrit, of something I knew was wrong

Slowly I began to lose everything, “ICE hadn’t caused it, it wasn’t to blame”

Cause I thought I could handle it, “I know better now, I understand”

The drug begins to blind you, it takes over your mind

But we all need to beat it, how many of us must die

If not die in spirit, we die within our minds

How many of us will be lucky, to get another chance at life

Try to see through the darkness, remember when you were clear

Cause it is the drug that gives us, this feeling that we fear

The fear will not get better, with the more drugs we have

It will only grow and multiply, and make our lives so sad

The sadness makes us think, we need it, cause without it we can’t cope

Then one day we’re at a funeral, cause one of us grabs the rope

Noone on it is truly happy, if they are it’s just a lie

Because slowly we feel it ruling us, taking over what was once our life

We get angry at everything, suddenly the drugs our bestfriend

“Is that what we want, is that what we had planned”

“Use your knowledge wisely, don’t let your lesson’s go”

“Tell someone, get some help”, “don’t let pride let you say No”

Some people have had bad life experiences, some have had great loss

But does that mean we must ruin what’s left, no matter what the cost

Sometime we took the wrong road, got lost along the track

Like when lost, we must turn around and find our journey back

Back to where we took the wrong turn, the fork within our road

Study it and carefully, find your track at birth for you was chose

You might take a couple of side streets, don’t let it fool you for the main road

Cause within the fork there’s side streets, some trick us, but don’t let ICE know,

Sometimes tiredness can mislead you, how can we make life decisions when we’re stuffed,

We all mose well be zombies, sleep walking in Hell’s dust

Do you wanna end up frozen, caught up in the ICE,

Or show yourself how much strength you have, rise above it live your life

The more we set example’s, will prevent later in life,

Us having to let our children, be the one’s left with our strife

It’s quite foolish I think, to let these lessons be lost,

Cause we learnt them and we lost things we love, no matter at the cost.

It would mean it stands for nothing, the torture we put ourselves through,

Pull yourself out be strong, “lets tell our kids what this drug can do”.

If you think you can’t be bothered, think twice and think again,

Because excuse’s only guide us, into this drug I call QUICKSAND

When slowly you start to sink, and realise your in a trap,

You see a branch, you better grab it now, or you may miss your journey back.
