I'm don't really understand the meaning completely either, but I agree with GrandeGris that he's really talking about himself and that the title Missing Persons 1&2 refers to him switching back and forth between first person and second person narrative.
"A missing person's in the window staring at me. Haven't seen them in years."
He sees his reflection in the window and is surprised, because he doesn't know who he really is anymore.
"Now you're breakin'... Lost in all the wars we fought... First things first. Second in command. Right as I'm trying to change my plan, second's gonna die. Oh! he can't breath... I don't know what to do 'til you say."
He seems to be going through some inner conflict, struggling with himself as he tries to decide what he really wants to do and where he really wants to go.
"I wonder where you are, I wonder where you are..."
I believe he's going through some sort of identity confusion, struggling to find out who he really is. The confusion he feels about this may be part of the reason why the lyrics are so vague and unclear; because he doesn't really understand what he's feeling either, so he can't express it clearly.
