i think your on the right track, i believe the this song is also about a child who is brought up in a household where the father abuses the mother. I see it as the child is going through all this pain because of this and he walks in on his mother crying because she can't take it anymore. he realizes that she has been hit in the face (this is the part where he talks about "oh, excuse me, you're morning, how callous and boring, I brush your hair, see your face, empty smile I touch that face, all the while")
The child then begins to hate his dad for what he has done to his mother,but at the same time he's also mad at his mother for not standing up for herself and leaving. He's stuck in the middle and about to lash out at someone
