It would appear this is a song about the torture of a young girl/woman by her father and the thoughts that should pass through his mind, and did in hers.

Daddy, she has your eyes
(The fact that this is his biological daughter)
And when she grins you can only realize
The guilt she manifests so deep inside you
(Talking about the guilt that should enter the heart of someone who molest his own daughter)
That your thin veneer of catechism can no longer hide
(The rules you live by do not cover up the sin and heartache that your actions inflict)
The voice you hear, her secret pain
(The sobbing he hears is the result of his actions)
As she digs the shiv into her placid veins
(The heartache she deals with has caused suicide)
Something you wanted
(His desire drove him to cause pain)
But she can't yet realize Your ever wayward eyes
(She doesn't understand his desire for her over her mother)
Hoping to let her deep inside your disdain
(Despising himself in some way drove him to abusing her)
What was it that drove your feign
Into another's arms, into another's bed
(What drove him away from the relationship that was right with her mother, into this abusive one with her.)
Writhe and burn, father you were
(consequnces of this relationship, and once he crossed the line he was no longer acting as a father)
She dances in the moonlight
Collecting drops of the earthy dew
Celebrating her exit
From the benign sense of self she once knew
Raising her heavy glass
Her cup now spills on her skirt
(A poetic desription of her suicide, and the blood she drenced her skit with a reference similar to in the Bible of Jesus stating "take drink, for this is my blood")
She prays for the hourglass to flip and reverse
(Wishing things could be as they were before her father's sin)

The sum total I believe is actions have consequences have you looked at what your actions are going to cause?
