There's an interview where Phil talks about this song and about 'Lifers', who are, in his words, people who do nothing else except music, who don't want to do anything else except play music.
This song is about Phil talking about being on the cover of a magazine, he's looking at a picture of himself, his 'frozen image'.
Also, the lyrics are wrong in every place they're transcribed, everywhere. These lyrics are also WRONG.
It doesn't say 'myself' and 'my health'. It says 'my cell' and 'my hell', if you listen closely - the chorus actually changes each time you hear it. This is not because Phil was high, this is because there are DIFFERENT LYRICS.
First chorus: My cell, My hell
Second verse:
Arms in knots
Liver spot
My blood is paving your woes
Stealing keys
Sold to me
It kills the brotherhood
Writhes with pain

Good call on the lyrics.

I've always heard the second verse as "My blood is paving your world"
