lyrics

I've bitten off my tongue
I've eaten all my young
Begonia
I've scraped off all my skin
I've shattered both my shins
Begonia

Turn the pages to the end
You'll just have to start again
Don't you worry about your fate
The rest will have to wait

Everything's just jake
I'll die with my mistakes
Begonia
Yeah, that's what you heard
I had to choose a word
Begonia

Turn the pages to the end
You'll just have to start again
Don't you worry about your fate
The rest will have to wait

This old soul of mine
Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time
This old soul of mine
Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time

If I metered out the years, would I find something worth searching for?
Is it even worth a try, or should I let it go?

This old soul of mine
Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of time
This old soul of mine
Has seen a lot of time, has seen a lot of

If I metered out the years, would I find something worth searching for?
Is it even worth a try, or should I let it go?

I've bitten off my tongue
I've eaten all my young
Begonia
