I'm not sure if this song has anything to do with the "story" I've been imagining, but if it does, I imagine it does like this...
The singer, fresh from his "relationship" from the girl, is starting to move on. I want to imagine he's move to a new area (no real reason, I just do).
He gets a job filming low-budget horror movies ("Something to corsets and horror", "these low-budget movies change our low-budget lives", "these bloody faces with their bloody knives") and is "captivated" with the lead actress.
The chorus is him not wanting to get into a new relationship so fresh out of the old one that wrecked him so ("Pray for mercy instead of time") and the other part, "you are the massocre, the masochist, the tease" I think refers to her role in the film. Her character dies in the film (the massocre), which she enjoys (the masochist) and the tease references that the singer wants her but doesn't want a relationship with her... maybe she's flirting with him a little, teasing him, but he knows he just can't. ("I'm still wondering everyone we've loved has broke away")
But it sounds a little hopeful, like maybe he does move on and find love again.
I'd just like to mention I'm totally making this up as I go along, my imagination knows no bounds. ^^
