To me this song is about a man (an only son) who is in love with a woman but she doesn't love him back or that they broke up over her.Then the part about the "Come out the woodwork" is maybe friends or family coming to comfort him or a more evil interpretation is the woman's friends are going to torture him and remind him how he could never have her.And all the time he spends fretting over her is causing him to become depressed the "heavy hands." He then goes to confession regarding the "good book" or maybe just goes to church,and all of his schedule is emptied just to go to church hoping faith will help him through.And the ending may either symbolize baptism or the man drowning himself finally after realizing the woman is all he wants but can never have or get.This is how I view this song.
