I'm pretty sure this song is about some kind of addiction. It's pretty evident in the first lines, "Pain come alive, I try to breathe, shade my eyes/Follow the damned, I have lost the way again." He's waking up after relapsing, realizing he's now following the "damned," basically addicts.
He says "I'll sleep close to Heaven" which really strikes me as a reference to heroin use as it makes you both very blissful and pretty sleepy. He's "coming home" to the bliss he feels from the drug, which he compares to Heaven.
