Lyrics

Black And Gold

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

1, 2, 3, go!

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 am 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
