Glass Cell Confession

The court is closed

The verdict signed in heavy ink

I find my cell

Where shadows stretch and spirits sink

The jester laughs in the corner

He plays with a jagged piece of glass

Watching the hours crawl

Watching the hollow faces pass

I see through

I see you

I see me

Cold stone sweating against my spine

Chorus

But the incubus stays

Feeding on the fever of my name

Yes the incubus stays

Burning in the middle of the flame

He is the king of the dirt

The master of the hurt

The incubus stays

The incubus stays

Post-Chorus

Stay away

Stay away

Far away

Verse 2

Magazines

Tattered pages from a different life

Glossy lies

Cutting deeper than a serrated knife

A plastic grin

Melting under the heat of the stage

Trapped

Writing my own obituary on every page

The promoter is a lizard

Counting coins in a velvet suit

While I taste the bitterness

Of the poison in the forbidden fruit

Scream

Just scream

Nobody hears the sound

Chorus

But the incubus stays

Feeding on the fever of my name

Yes the incubus stays

Burning in the middle of the flame

He is the king of the dirt

The master of the hurt

The incubus stays

The incubus stays

Post-Chorus

Stay away

Stay away

Far away

Bridge

Mirror mirror

Who is the ghost in the glass

Mirror mirror

Who lets the opportunity pass

The reflection is cracking

The ceiling is falling

I hear the sirens

I hear the voices

I hear the end

Crawling through the keyhole of my mind

Guitar Solo

Chorus

But the incubus stays

Feeding on the fever of my name

Yes the incubus stays

Burning in the middle of the flame

He is the king of the dirt

The master of the hurt

The incubus stays

The incubus stays

Outro

The court is closed

The verdict signed

I find my cell

I find my peace

The jester stops laughing

The jester starts weeping

It is finished

It is done

It is over

The incubus stays

He stays

He stays

He stays

Stay away

Away

Away

Away
