I interpret this song as talking about the bond individuals create while in a pysch ward. As Cameron mentions in Old Gray's "Like Blood From a Stone" people create special bonds with other patients in these psychiatric hospitals. Specifically, Cameron in my opinion is speaking how many of those he has been in hospitals with have died (most likely due to overdose or suicide) and how he has lost hope in the system. He is also questioning why an omniscient being like G-d would allow these people who have sought help to still struggle. Cameron's mention of "I am not saying it easy I am saying it is fine" is his way of saying that he has to live through these times and that these times are hard, but if he lets himself get bettered by the times than he cannot live.
