To me this song is an argument between 2 people, the singer, and another person who has problems such as depressed and doesnt know god, etc.
If you look at the lyrics a little closer its more like a conversation. the singer are the verses and the other guy (the one with problems) is the chorus.
Example:
Verse 1-
"Walk into flames that YOU start with yourselves
And get help while YOU can
To pull me from those
Burnt down YOUR home
Great, a diversion to buy YOURSELF time
To give thanks to the ones who are all alone
YOUR're all alone
These hives
They break into YOUR skin like a thief
They rob YOU of life while you sleep
So you cut and YOU cut til there's nothing left"
the singer is describing the other guys life above.
Chorus-
"This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped with time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know ME at all"
This is the other guys responce. and this i found goes on durring the song.
So if your reading my comment, re-read the lyrics as if it were 2 people talking.
