Aberinkula Lyrics

[Chorus]
Have you seen the livin'
Tired of their own shells?
All the nonbelievers
Torso in the well

[Verse 1]
Am I the one you're after?
The novice made to find
Stray abhoration stalkin'
Plans that forgot me ninety-nine times
The only thing to alter
Stands in the way of you
I want your cramps to fit the fillings of my teeth

[Chorus]
Have you seen the livin'
Tired of their own shells?
All the nonbelievers
Torso in the well

[Verse 2]
And don't you try and ask me
Your expiration date
Plans that forgot me ninety-nine times
You'll be the one who opens the gate
Carry water in a basket
Where the hole was dug the first time
The head that carries the body
And a blood that flows through veins

[Chorus]
Have you seen the livin'
Tired of their own shells?
All the nonbelievers
Torso in the well

[Verse 3]
And when it calls, I'll answer
Do you need to repent?
Plans that forgot me ninety-nine times
I'll stick around for ninety-nine times
The fault lines you prepare have darkened
Black rings instead of sight
Goliath, are you receivin'?
Dismembered, you've arrived

[Chorus]
Have you seen the livin'
Tired of their own shells?
All the nonbelievers
Torso in the well

[Instrumental Outro]
