Maynard has always had a rough relationship with God. Listen to Judith and you'll understand what I mean. Judith was inspired by Maynard's mother who had an undying love for her God, who in Maynard's opinion left her broken and alone. I believe this song is referring to the biblical Thomas because he had asked Christ to show him his hands where the nails pierced them before he would believe that he was really the resurrected son of God. I believe Maynard wants to forgive not only God, but himself, and be forgiven in return. I think this song is Maynard's way of reconnecting to his God in some way.
