He's a drug addict looking in the mirror.

@tony765835 I think you're right. I never thought about that interpretation before, but it does make sense.

It sounds like a drug addict blaming himself while looking in the mirror. The addiction for him is "stronger than reason" and "stronger than lies" All the times he said he wasn't going to go back to drugs turned out to be lies, and he hates himself. The "chewing on glass" and "eating my fingers" is the feeling of withdrawal.

Al Jourgensen famously was addicted to heroin, so maybe the "stigmata" is the track marks...

@tony765835 now you’re getting somewhere!
