Isn't it about his guilt/doubt in abandoning god and (particularly) the idea of heaven?
First two verses are basically creating the sense of unease/dissatisfaction/unhappiness.
Third verse begins with the hope that god can make it all better, but finishes by directly doubting god.
Fourth verse is lamenting his new-found awareness [VERY common Karnivool theme].
Fifth is cutting free - essentially "You know what? I'm done! I'm letting go of the whole notion of heaven".
Then there's a return of some self-doubt, before the song ends with a definant/indifferent mantra of "when its over, its over".
