It seems like this person has realized the truth and it isn't nice or wonderful. With this realization, nothing seems right anymore. The truth has ruined him, it's the cause of his problems, he can't think simply anymore now that he figured out the truth. He pretends like he doesn't know, but breaks apart when he's alone. With the truth, he has no need for praying, nothing will make it better. He watches people who don't know the truth smiling without a care, not knowing what he knows, and he feels as if they're stupid for smiling when things are so wrong, when there is no reason for smiling. He then realizes that he's been lying and playing along too and that he's despicable. I think at the end he realized that he needs to stop pretending and stop going along with everything and actually do something about it. Reminds me of a person that is in a long depression and moping around for the longest time, then realization hits and they know what they have to do now.
@KuroMitsuki Great take Kuro. God does complicate everything. Not as a entity if one believes that sort of thing BUT especially as a metaphor. If god exists is organized religion what he would even want.

@KuroMitsuki but what about houses made from secrets and shame and then he crosses the line? I think he's just digging deeper still looking for blame outside, making mistakes inside.

it's a piece of good poetry in that song, after years passed I started to appreciate Taylor's lyrics
