The title is "Dead Letter & the Infite Yes." A dead letter is 1. An unclaimed or undelivered letter that after a period of time is destroyed or returned to the sender by the postal service.
A law, directive, or factor still formally in effect but no longer valid or enforced. Clearly the song refers to the destructive nature of the human mind: Restless sense of detachment, nausea and or violence, IN CONTRAST with the body: There's been talk of chemical imbalances, and the body is dead. The reference to the therapist also suggests that the narrator is caught in this juxtoposition as reinforced by the therapist. The 'directives' of our world, humanities mind-generated ideas on how to further humanity (ie possibly technology) aren't working: they're just accidents.
The infinite yes, however, ie, the way out, or the anciently perpetuated desire for salvation (as seen in all the worlds religions), is an unconditional acceptance to the plight of our condition. Even in the face of feeding on viruses, there is a very smll chance of hope (ie whispers of it), that will take us out of our current situation. The therapist in the story, clearly is not helping the narrator, almost taunting the narrator to keep the fatalistic point of view. But the narrator can't help hear it coming: an infinite yes, and it's coming, fast.
