Of the daydream I wrestled through
I couldn't leave it alone
Just before bed I ate like a pro

What a scar my body's become
And I'm a glutton for punishment

Like I haven't had sussin' since 1968

That I'm constantly pushing into
the space where nothing fits
I thought the worst was to feel worthless
But the worst is when a man
Bottling up in a torture cell
