Guys i really dont think its rape yourself or rake yourself.

Its "rate yourself and break yourself" which then connects with the line "your boldness stands alone among the wreck"!!

Think about,this is a song about a guy who who is self-conscious, self-critical and extremely judgemental probably has an inferiority complex.

He is rating himself then realizing hes not good enough, even though his parents called him "little lion man", and he is breaking himself down again....

in the booklet that comes with the CD its rake..

sorry I have the album, the liners notes say "rake yourself"

but right after it says "rate yourself and (whatever) yourself" it would make sense to say rape because after that line it says "take all the courage you have left" it would make sense because the word rape also means to seize, take, or carry off by force. and he uses it good if thats what he even says lol excellant song
