If fish swam out of the ocean and grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
And grew tall and they started talking

And the stars fell out of the sky and my tears rolled into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why you even set my world into motion

'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter

'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I looked up into the grey sky and see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black

I feel a way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real

'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter

'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

Black and gold
Black and gold
Oh

'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter

'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold

If you're not really here then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
