this is no garden

    you do not count the traps that have been set
    so many fall and never again rise
    those who don't fail cannot ever forget

    enough to see the fish in the big net
    before the sun has cleaned out all the skies
    you do not count the traps that have been set

    this was the shadow of an evil debt
    and not the fallout of a kind surprise
    those who don't fail cannot ever forget

    so much unknown and we've not started yet
    that beyond all's not subject to surmise
    you do not count the traps that have been set

    those moments come when you might still regret
    the manner in which you came to despise
    those who don't fail cannot ever forget

    alone of those who do not have to fret
    we watch to see the keepers and the spies
    you do not count the traps that have been set
    those who don't fail cannot ever forget
