I think that this song is about someone(loved one maybe child) who has passed away. And the narrator is dreaming of their "face again" and In the beginning Bill Hicks is talking about how drugs can help. So this person has turned into a drug addict and is trying to stop but is brought back "Down that hole and back again"
This person is high to feel better and believes that he sees the loved one "playing" so he "came out to watch you play" but him/her starts running away and the addict starts to cry and screams "why are you running away!"
Third eye is a metaphor for finally realizing what is true/reality so the addict is "Prying open my third eye" so see reality and that he/she Is gone but thanks the drugs for letting the addict see the loved one once again. And realizes that this entire time he's been "Chasing a trail of smoke" meaning the loved one was never there but he did it for "reason." The reason is because he loved him/her.
