Black & Gold

[Verse 1]

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

And now I'm looking for a reason why

You even set my world into motion

[Chorus]

'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 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

[Verse 2]

I look up into the grey 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

[Chorus]

'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 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

[Chorus]

'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

I don't want to be, either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
