I originally thought he said "and I loved you..." not "left you" which I actually like better and it totally fits in with the idea that it's about a relationship. However, after realizing it's "left you" I'm tending to think that it's more about a part of himself that he's speaking to.
Somewhere between my tongue and cheek
I can feel the hands on me
Pulls me in so we are face to face
I don't want to see it, I don't want to see
Hold my head up, can't avert my eyes
Spots and rats on me, I don't want to see
Claw the ground up, get me out of this
Never wanted this, never needed this!
To me this is him saying that he tries to use laughter/humor to escape the things that truly bother him or that he's insecure about.
Chair is stained and I can't stay awake
Bring forth evidence to keep me sane
I can't keep this riddle locked inside
Seven ways to keep my secrets tied
This part seems more cryptic and probably has some significant personal meaning, like an inside joke only this isn't a joke. The evidence is whatever he uses to justify to himself that he's ok or sane. The seven ways to keep his secrets tied may be refering to the seven deadly sins, especially with the hindsight knowledge that he wrote a book called that. Perhaps what he's hiding is what HE considers to be the true seven deadly sins. He's talking about what he wrote about in his book. The rest seems either self-explanatory or unknown to me, but that's what I gather from it.
