Lyrics

If the fish swam out of the ocean
They grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
They 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
Stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
’Cause it's all just a bunch of matter
’Cause if you're not really here
I don't wanna be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold

*INSTRUMENTAL*

I look up into the night sky
I see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black
I feel the weight 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
(You’re not really here)
Then the stars don't even matter
(The stars don’t even matter)
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
(Filled to the top with fear)
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
I don't wanna be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

*INSTRUMENTAL*

'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
