I wonder, though, what this song's lyrics are about?

Not sure if these are the correct lyrics but I think it's about confronting problems, embracing the pain and sorrow and keep on fighting instead of hiding eventhough you know it'll hurt. Especially in the context of relationships, you know it'll be fine if you pretend things are ok but you need to do the right thing eventhough it'll hurt the person. This needs to be done for their own good. You just have to appreciate the chaos and move on with the lesson.
I thought that you were driving but you've given me the wheel
There's rain clouds out there that you don't wanna feel
Your anger's like a razor blade it's just too bloody real
I thought that you would be here though I just don't get it
And I also feel things more than I should
I don't relax very often as often as I could
I worry how the whole thing looks it doesn't look good
But I thought that you would be here no I just don't get it
And being clear gets? too much for me, just like it does for you
And even though I want to, I want to, I don't
I don't feel like calming down
No I don't
I don't feel like hiding out
So I won't
I can't turn the volume down
So I sit here in this chaos and piss
Watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful
Right here it's beautiful
I came all this way to be with you and you are already gone
If I was a good friend I could write this wrong
I'd kick away your crutches and make you walk on your own
I really thought you'd be here, I just don't get it
Though it looks warm in the rabbit hole
I could go down with you
And even though I want to, I want to
I won't
I don't feel like calming down
No I don't
I don't feel like hiding out
So I won't
I can't turn the volume down
So I sit here in this chaos and piss
Watching the storm passing
It's beautiful
I'm a willow tree and you can't blow me over
And my roots go deep in anger and I wanna feel the wind
As it whips me like a prisoner I wanna be here
I wanna be here,
I don't feel like calming down
No I don't
I don't feel like hiding out
So I won't
I can't turn the volume down
So I sit here in this chaos and piss
Watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful
This life is beautiful
It is
