...and sold it for scrap.
In the central jail, a hundred times,

Everything I say is a complete lie,
Everything I put my hand into is a pocket.
Even out of solid boulders,

The character unabashedly boasts about his rogue lifestyle, his childhood petty crimes, prison stints, and lack of social constraints or emotional attachments.
