At Naught
At... locations position in time scale in order pure
Naught... Quantity of no importance complete failure this I am sure
For you ride into the prisons gold
Bent on passages that's already been told
We are slightly above Angel's seven aged old
We dream in Technicolor dreams believed, this we will achieve
Now the four corners of this world
Houses just one ceiling and 4 floors
Masterminded your screams
Caught up in dreams, eating desert drought
You sought, you drink out of a dirty cup
At naught, your presents is not found in the covenants
And whose line is it that I must, trust
I prevail at naught canvas not always a campus
You see a "sea" not always a'C" anything tangible doesn't always feels
Caught up in my dreams this is so real, surreal
You've gotten caught maimed stealing from little children
Got caught no trust in you fellow brethren
Now you rest your laurels against the buildings
At naught, AT Naught revealing
No man, no one hands me juggernaut, yet no
You threat watch you sweat who you gonna test
Not your student or you pet
In still in prisons of gold still on passages of gold
Above angels of multicolor rainbows who can I trust, I must AT Naught
