If the 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   That it's all just a bunch of matter      'Cause if you're not really here   Then I don't wanna be either   I wanna be next to you   Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold      I looked up into the gray sky   And 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   Then the stars don't even matter   Now I'm filled to the top with fear   That it's all just a bunch of matter      'Cause if you're not really here   Then I don't wanna be either   I wanna be next to you   Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold      'Cause if you're not really here   Then the stars don't even matter   Now I'm filled to the top with fear   That it's all just a bunch of matter      'Cause if you're not really here   Then I don't wanna be either   I wanna be next to you   Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold   Black and gold, black and gold   Black and gold, black and gold
