I always thought it's about getting the feeling that something bad's gonna happen, but you go along anyway.
Maybe even more so reflecting on that feeling after the bad thing has happened to you.
"Can't feel the pain that I expected"
So the "incident" (so to call) already happened, but the pain is not as hard as expected.
"I still place keys in the ignition
I know what will be"
Always had me thinking of when I went to have a "talk" with my then-girlfriend and I had the feeling it's about to end but still I got in my car and drove to her. (It ended on that day, btw.)
Only the order of the lines seems slightly odd to support this interpretation.
Those lines however are a complete mystery to me:
"Could be your last resort
Like gold against your soul"
and
"I hold your birth control to ransom
The cells divide and grow inside you" (Could be that the "you" that is reffered to is pregnant, but.. how does it fit into the rest of the song?)
Interesting interpretation, I only want to point out though that your referral to an "incident" is inaccurate, because although the album's theme is The Incident, SW has made it very clear that the whole point of the double-cd is that the 4 songs on Disc 2 have nothing at all to do with the "incident" theme expressed in disc 1. So I just wanted to point that out.

Otherwise, your interpretation is as good as any. This song is cryptic.
