I believe its more or less what everyone else is saying, that its about making mistakes continuously with a person as such.
He is feeling alone, and the memories about that person are as he says 'weaving and fading away'. The separation with this person hurts him, and the situation is angering him, possibly wishing for things to be different. 'Inspiration has grown cold', maybe he is talking about the inspiration to change or to make amends with this person. 'Even as the longing renews' If we are thinking about this from a love perspective then it could be that they believe that they are getting over them, but somethings happens which 'renews' his feelings.
'Desperate i return to you, broken i return to you' I believe that these lyrics speak for themselves. He are heartbroken about whats happened, and although he knows the relationship isn't good, he is that desparate for their love that they return to them, and it becomes a vicious circle, hence 'we circle over and over', and although this keeps happening, he still returns to them.
'What will it take to escape you' He may or may not believe that the relationship wouldn't be good, and wants to escape the desperation and feelings he holds for them, he could feel controled or possessed by these feelings, and wants to 'escape' them. 'Is this what you wanted, to see me humbled. Is this what you asked for, the final word' Maybe this is about how the relationship ended, the person was the one to end it, and is asking, if feeling unimportant and having the last word is what they wanted.
'I would tear my eyes out, to never see your face, but all of these scars, can never be erased' You can hear it in his voice, the frustration, the anger and hate. He wants to forget them of sorts, but the pain that has been inflicted will not cease and he realizes that. 'Choke on your words, that have left me bleeding, and may your tears, may your tears burn.' This is the hate fully coming out, the anger that comes from being so hurt, wanting them to feel what he is feeling.
This is my own interpretation of course, this is my favourite song from them, its filled with so much emotion and Hoards voice is just a godsend on this song.
@CheshireWolf you couldn't have explained it better. Thanks for taking the time to write this out. Right now in my life I'm feeling this way more than ever. My girl of 8 years is moving out and in the process has saddled me with more bills, anger, and loneliness, but still wants to stay together as a couple. I am struggling with this idea and want to be mad forever. Just cut and run.... but I feel desperate and I return. Music moves me, this song makes me feel. Maybe I should stand outside her window holding a boom box...
