This song is definitely about a break up....
I think facing the grazes means facing reality.
You can kind of graze through life, or through the day or what not, not thinking or feeling to much about things...just getting by.
when he says
So did the sympathy for me start to fade (talking to the girl, did you get bored of me? fall out of love)
When your conscience is down (when you arent thinking about me because I think about myself enough), a fix paranoia scars when I need all (he is admitting he is selfish, and paranoid she cheated on him)
So did you ever see the north get so grey (have u ever seen me so sad?)
Swallows me up, hollows the language in my last lows (this guilt is eating me alive, I understand why you went with him, I have nothing to say, no arguments to make)
So which fucking ape is on you today (who is fucking you now?)
That what's my head wakes up and says when I crumble (that thought makes me break down)
(ex gf to guy singing the song)
Im the aim to suffocate and blame (you try and blame me cuz its easier then admitting you were wrong)
You gave less than you tried to possess (you were selfish)
All the greed is nothing that I need (I never asked for much)
if you can't face the grazes (you cant face reality)
I can't face the grazes (I cant stand my reality, fucked up our relationship...)
I cannot contain this
I can't fake the traces ( I cant pretend this isnt my fault)
I can't fake the grazes
So the fever that I got stole my name (I chose other things over you...maybe he means drugs here)
It opened me up it twisted my bones now I'm nothing (it ruined me... )
I knew the second time that I saw your face (guilt- remembering- running away from reality)
The city lit up it's bleeding its gifts (so much temptation to go back to old ways)
Now I'm sinking (this isnt what I want)
Just another lonely box beneath her bed (she has prob gotten over me)
A mark on her back a bruise in her head (now Im just like all of her asshole ex boyfriends)
Had she fallen, had she fallen (she prob cheated on him/given up)
That is what she wished she had said (but she thought I wouldnt understand)
To traces of time was riding her spine (she wanted to hold of for me, but she couldnt wait forever)
Was it worth it (to cheat on me? or he means to give up on her)
