I think this song is about a christian on his deathbed who starts doubts his faith and is in fact doing a deathbed conversion to atheism, thus becoming a deathbed atheist.
"Watch it all change and watch it go away.
Watch it all never be the same again.
Watch it all all be nothing like we thought before."
This is him seeing his faith leaving him.
"Lie to me. Lie to me. Lie to me."
He wants to believe what he has come to see as a lie. He wants to believe again. He wants to believe your lie.
"Take it all in and take it all from me.
Take it all and bury it deep inside of you.
Take it all and run away.
Take it all forever."
He doesn't want to hear your lies anymore!
"Bury your hands in the sand.
You'll never use them on me again."
He denounces christianity. It will never touch his heart again.
"This is my nightmare"
In his weakest moment, he realises he is alone. There is nothing to comfort him. He lived his life believing and the one time where he needs his faith the most, it has abandoned him. A veritable nightmare.
