I think I know almost exactly what this song is talking about- the singer is suffering from some internal or emotional pain, like depression. I'm not sure what the first verse means, but beyond that, I think I've figured it out.

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
(this hints at the internal pain)

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony
(pretty self-explanatory)

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me (the singer feels like he's being weighted down with emotions and sadness)
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry (when you're depressed, it's so easy to remember all the mistakes you've ever made)
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Suddenly
The lights go out (the singer is experiencing it off and on, and this is one of the times when it's really hard to fight it)
Let forever
Drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end (yet the singer continues to fight)

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Leave me alone
God let me go (the singer prays for it to stop)
I'm blue and cold
Black sky will burn (feels like their world is ending)
Love pull me down
Hate lift me up (there's a huge mix of emotions)
Just turn around
There's nothing left (the singer tries to go back to how it was before, but can't)

Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore (contemplates suicide)

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

I feel nothing anymore (this is where YOU get to decide whether the singer triumphed or committed suicide)

Feel free to oppose my opinion of this song's meaning. I'm putting down what I think based on my experiences.
