Agreeing with congruent on this one. This has nothing to do with the narrative in Pillar of Salt. They just have the same chords.
This is about Harris' own struggle with his faith and religion. He wants to believe in God, but he has problems with organized religion. I think I read in an interview that he said he was "recovering" from his Catholic upbringing. I think that's kind of reflected in this song. He eventually wants to return to the faith that he used to have in God (I won't die escaping/I'll die returning to the fold). The rest of the song is about how he hopes that God will take him back even if he's lost his soul, pleading God to wait for him.
