I sacrifice myself for one and all
I come forward telling the truth
Bearing witness, as I must, to my experience
I describe my perversion, my immorality, in detail
Listen, they spit on me, trample me, and I don’t give a toss any more
I’m here, it’s today
I’m not, unlike you, a mass of defences, ready to spring into action
A tissue of falsehoods for justifying my failures
Fifty-six ways to camouflage the truth
Here it is utterly naked in front of you
Open your eyes and learn a lesson from it
You’ll never be better than me
You’ll never be worth more than me
I’m the one who confronts life
I’m the one who confronts truth
