Don't cut out my paper heart I ain't dyin' anyway
Take a look at eye full towers Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin' lemon yellow booze Ol' leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day Keep on trippin' anyway

I am I am I said I'm not myself I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

Fake the heat and scratch the itch Skinned up knees and salty lips
I'll breathe your life vicks vapor life and when you binge I purge alike
Let go it's harder holding on One more trip and I'll be gone

So keep your head up Keep it on, just a whisper I'll be gone
Take a breath and make it big It's the last you'll ever get
Break you neck with diamond noose It's the last you'll ever choose

I am I am I said I'm not myself I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go Let me be just let me be
I am I am I said I'm not myself I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

I am I am I said I'm not myself I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go Let me be just let me be
I am I am I said I'm not myself I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

    General Comment:This song is called Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart because well... Weiland was Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart when he wrote this song

    My Interpretation:I never saw this as being about drugs. I thought it's about getting counted off before you get a chance to prove yourself.

    General Comment:If you read between the lines (no pun intended), the song might give some insight as to why Scott may have did heroine. Probably he was so bored with life that he felt heroine was an escape from it.

    "so keep your bankroll lottery, eat your salad, day, deathbed, motorcade" - might be him saying "You all live your pointless lives, I'm just going to get fucked up."
