If a 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 
I don't want to be either 
I wanna be next to you 
Black and gold 
Black and gold 
Black and gold 

I looked up into the night sky 
And see a thousand 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 
I don't want to be either 
I wanna be next to you 
Black and gold 
Black and gold 
Black and gold
