I think this song is simply about himself and his two halves. His dark depressed side and his brighter more optimistic self.
"In many ways I AM the burden that divides us from the light
In many ways YOUR the the halo that keeps my spirit alive"
(He is looking in a mirror and realizing he controls his own damnation or his own salvation)
"If I survive I fly from here,
But as the chosen pessimist,I carve my name in stone"
You can choose to survive and take flight, or you can be the CHOSEN pessimist and carve your own tombstone.
This song is about battling depression. Terrific song.
