Yeah, it's about someone I know. But those negative feelings have long gone.
Good riff though and the middle section was inspired by the changes found on Frank Zappa's composition "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?"

lyrics

FOOL FOR TORTURE

JT : Ah hah! Giggles and giggles and giggles and giggles in the gas chamber!

I GET THE URGE AND I SETTLE DOWN
I TAKE A DRINK AND I'M RIGHT WHERE I BELONG
BUT EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO SETTLE DOWN
THERE AIN'T NO SIGN OF WATER AND YOUR WELL'S DRY

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH

Ain't no lie. I swear!

I RECALL IN OUR YOUNGER PHASE
BIG MISTAKES THAT I SWORE I'D NEVER RELIVE
BUT YOU NEVER LEARNED TO FACE THE FACTS
THERE'S COBWEBS IN YOUR CLOSET AND OLD THE MONSTERS ON YA BACK

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH

Ah you, you say you never need to hide behind a wall
You'll face the consequences "do or die"
But you never have the balls to tell me when I caused you pain
You laugh it off
And then expect for me to drag along
Drag along and watch you drown

'CAUSE YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
PLAIN AS DAY CAN BE
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE
NOTHING I CAN DO
MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
'CAUSE IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
YEAH YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TORTURE BABY
A FOOL FOR TORTURE
WELL IT'S THE GODDAMN TRUTH
I SWEAR!
SUCH A FOOL FOR TORTURE
SUCH A FOOL FOR TORTURE
YOU'RE A FOOL!
