I think its:

cut the crease and put the shit in the whole


as in he's the dividing line between to halves and wants it all to become one
That's what I had originally, but edited it because I thought I had it wrong. This is probably one of those blurry lyric issues like violins/violence in Daughter. Maybe it's purposely that way, so the listener can decide for themselves.
Or Ed paints himself into a metaphorical corner and can't be bothered to get out again.

No, that's OK in general, but I keep reading it as 'rimming' and I don't like to mix my bathroom with my bedroom if you know what I mean.
