i think this is very much about a person who tries so hard to be sinnless, tries to be as perfect as God, and then as soon as he slips up (which we all do) he crashes and burns, blaming himself, and making things worse. "I'm empty, lonely, and accused
Accused without a word" i think this is how the person feels when they are in sin, without God, and no one actually says anything about it, but they knows deep down, that they have really fallen far away from who they want to be like (god)
"I'm so lost, lost and confused
I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful
When I am so afraid"
here the person is
now that the person doesn't have God directing them in their life they are lost and afraid, and wonder how God would still think they are someone worth taking back and loving
the next verse shows them starting to realise that they need God back in their life, and needs to be filled of the holy spirit. which in turn, will destroy the sin that has been growing inside of them. the person needs to stop being afraid, and start trusting god, even though they are still a little afriaid.
and finally, they know that they are wasting every moment without God. and that God is the only one who can save them from the state they are in.
well that's atleast how i interpret the song, but thats the awsome thing about well written lyrics, they can often change their meaning to suit different people :)
by the way, this is one of my favourite songs by skillet, i love this album in general :)
