"Incubus" lyrics

Never seen the ceiling from this angle before
Draped over the sheets exposed like some Victorian
Horses grinning over me
A nightmare painted by Fuseli
I am full of dread
The world on silent
And my messages unread
Still screaming at me
Like the voices in my head
They hover over me
The demon on my chest
Won't you let it rest, incubus

Send my message from the pyre
Can't burn what is made of fire

Send my message from the pyre
Can't burn what is made of fire
Can't break what's already broken
Can't haunt what is but a ghost
Send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest

You bring debilitating doubts, my incubus
But still you revere me
Desire my crystal tears
The things I would do
For a pat on the back
A 20 minute nap
God forbid I get some rest
But there is some kind of relief
You tried to drown me
You're just watering the seed
Or liberate me but I've always been unleashed
You tried to choke me
I'm a diamond
Can't you see
You can't pressure me

Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest

Send my message from the pyre
Can't burn what is made of fire
Can't break what's already broken
Can't haunt what is but a ghost
And send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest...

And if you need me
More than I need to get rid of you
Who's to say who's feeding on who
Maybe today you will cave
And I will crush

Oh maybe today
I could be the succubus

Send my message from the pyre
Can't burn what is made of fire
Can't break what's already broken
Can't haunt what is but a ghost
And send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest

And send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest

Send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Scream with all your chest
Won't you let it rest

Won't you let it rest

(Send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire
Send it from the pyre
Burn what's made of fire)
