Battlefield Park (I Die Sometimes)

I'm only alive a few minutes a year
It only happens whenever you're near
It's when you pass by me, my precious and dear
Other than that I'm a coffeehound boy
With nothing but oxygen left for his toys

Amongst all the people with noise all around
Battlefield Park is where I will be found
Nearby the pillars that contrast the ground
Waiting to meet you like trees rich with sap
Is me with my music for you with your maps

Otherwise I die sometimes
Most of the time I am lying in wait
Waiting for you to contemplate
The entrance to my gate
And enter to finish my rhyme

Whenever you visit my father's estate
My heart starts to race like a train running late
The blood rushing faster than in fierce debate
Only for others to steal my time
And leave me as speechless as second rate mimes

And when you've departed for your house so light
Battlefield Park is where I'll spend the night
Against the mosquitoes and frost I will fight
To be with my fantasies and with my thoughts
And face all the obstacles this path hath wrought

Otherwise I die sometimes
Most of the time I am lying in wait
Waiting for you to contemplate
The entrance to my gate
And enter to finish my rhymes

I'm only alive a few minutes a year
It only happens whenever you're near
It's when you pass by me, my precious and dear
Other than that I'm a coffeehound boy
With nothing but oxygen left for his toys

In springtime eternal with noise all around
Battlefield Park is where I will be found
Nearby the pillars that contrast the ground
Waiting to meet you like trees rich with sap
Is me with my music for you with your maps
