This is what I could make of it:
"No bad dream fucker's going to boss me around
Christian Brothers going to take him down"
He can't reach his dreams and uses alcohol as an escape, to "take him down", forget about what ruins his dreams.
"But it can't help me get over"
It only makes him forget, doesn't help really.
"Don't be cross, it's sick what I want"
He doesn't want any help, he WANTS to be sick.
"I've seen the boss blink on and off"
I think it'd be a reference to God, specially the use of "Christian Brothers" as an alcohol instead of any other.. I think he means he's been close to dying many times..
"Fake concerns is what's the matter, man
And you think I ought to shake your motherfucking hand
Well, I know how much you care"
When people try to "help" and get you out of such states of alcoholism or drug addiction, they're actually thinking about themselves, how they love the addicted person and how they miss them. So they're actually helping themselves, not the addicted (not my vision on it, I guess it'd be elliott's vision).
"Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear"
In the end, it becomes clear that he really wants company and help, he doesn't want to be alone.
