lyrics
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
because if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
and i've been 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 & gold
black & gold
black & gold
i look up into the night 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
but cant see what i 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
and i've been 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 & gold
black & gold
black & gold
