Well the song is clearly about lying. A polygraph is a lie detector, so to 'cheat the polygraph' would be to lie convincingly I assume... Which makes sense looking at the verses.
Overall, I guess the song is about lying so much and so convincingly, you lose yourself in your own lies - what is in fact true and what isn't ('Losing my integrity, Well it's lost to me, I don't mind')... The chorus could be seen as how lying so much can lead to desensitisation towards the matter... You don't know when you should lie or you shouldn't lie - you don't see how it hurts others... You become alienated - or cold - towards the matter ('Feel my soul going, Feel my soul colder').
