To me, it sounds like the singer is trying to convince himself that he doesn't need/want a certain person or ex, repeatedly saying "I don't need to see you right now." He is trying to suppress feelings that are too strong to die off ("digging like you can bury something that cannot die"). I think the "face stained in the ceiling" is representative of his persistent thoughts of his ex- he's seeing this person in everything he looks at. He's reminded that he/she doesn't want him, hearing their voice say "I don't have to see you right now" in the beginning. Because he has been rejected, he does the same thing and the line "I don't have to see you right now" becomes his own.
