The more you take of something, the less it begins to appeal to you. The taste of something you enjoy very much begins to wear off when you've tasted it for the hundredth time.
"A smile is a pipe dream suffering aged like wine"
Foolish hope of ever being happy again, and things get worse with each passing day.
"Coughing up blood, with my mind on fire"
Physical pain, and emotional/mental pain.
"Juggling switchblades on a high tension wire"
To me it means a deathwish, or just the desire to inflict self-harm as a means to distract from the emotional agony.
"I don't have any scars, only dormant wounds that crack like fault lines"
Never truly got over the hurt, and when some emotional upheaval or disturbance occurs, all the pain that was pressed down comes flooding back at once.
"I only have five thoughts anymore and four of them are of you"
4 thoughts of the person who made him like this, and the last one is of death.
"Body bursts and leaks like a trash bag, into the gutter and the grave."
Here's my interpretation of the lyrics
"Increase the dose, diminish the high"
The more you take of something, the less it begins to appeal to you. The taste of something you enjoy very much begins to wear off when you've tasted it for the hundredth time.

Suicide.
