I think what is referred to by most as a "past addiction" with cocaine has gotten progressively worse over the years. Judging by all the hints and lyrics throughout the whole album (and previous ones). Sadly I'd have to assume that he's shooting cocaine now, but obviously I don't know him personally so I am only judging from my own knowledge and the things that make sense to me on this album. The lyrics here (and pretty much every other song) are about the vocalist's constant struggle with his addictions getting in the way of what he knows is right by being a Christian. Again, just my opinion but to me it seems very straight forward and clear-cut. "sleepless, numb existence", "Oh I feel it now
Drag me down now to the floor
Press the point into my skin"... and other obvious things that hint of drug use (particularly IV cocaine...)
