To me, it's a song about a failed relationship and Winston's reaction after the fact.
Kill the lights
Im so sick of your face
Another nigth wasted wishing you away
Now im cut, im cut at the wrists
but i still cant kill the pain
To me, this is him being tormented by her. He sees her (perhaps in a room, which is where the "kill the lights" line came from) and he's tired of running into her. Another night now will be spent trying to stop thinking of her. So, he cuts his wrists, but the emotional pain blocks out the physical pain.
Id give anything to rip you from my head
From my head
The return of your voice marks another failure
And i can feel your blades closing on my back
Ill savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity
As it clutches, tearing at my heart
This is my final act of desperation
He's desperate to get her out of his head. When he hears her voice, it only deepens his thoughts of her, causing his attempts at forgetting her to fail. He can still feel the betrayal that she put on him. Then, perhaps thoughts of suicide in the last couple lines?
One lost second gives way to disease
Id give anything to rip you fro my head
Cause i can feel you
Creeping through me
Like a sickness
Your weakness
Scars your ****ing face
Scares your name
One lost second, to me, is him remembering the initial break up. Perhaps an argument where he didn't say the right thing or didn't say anything at all, and that is what caused it. Thoughts of her still creep through his entire being, like a sickness. Her weakness in how easy she gave up destroys her beauty (scars your fucking face) and her reputation (scares your name) with her.
As light fades to past
Darkness wells against me
But my shattered eyelids
Refuse to close
Your breathe is death to me
As the memories of her fade to the past once again, he's left in darkness. Although he has forgotten her, he doesn't know where to go. Her life itself, though, is dead to him. He doesn't care for her anymore.
Excellent interpretation! "Her life itself, though, is dead to him. He doesn't care for her anymore." Well, isn't that special (taken from a Saturday Night routine:) Send me a message and we can discuss music. I'll have my own interpretation to provide.

That's just my take anyway.
