Amethyst the Dragon - Happy Hour

[Verse 1] The sun went down, the lights came on The town all laughed and sang along Candy skies and neon rain Everybody hides the pain The clock strikes six, the glasses rise Pretty masks and painted eyes You can dance, but don’t look down There’s something moving underground [Pre-Chorus] Laugh a little louder now Hide the shaking somehow Raise your cup and make a toast To all the things we fear the most [Chorus] It’s happy hour, don’t be late Smile wide at the rusted gate Sip your joy and drown your fear The monsters only come when you hear The children singing through the wall The laughter when the shadows crawl Happy hour, stay and play No one ever leaves this place [Verse 2] Balloons float in the blackened sky Something watches, standing by Music from the empty hall Tiny footsteps in the wall The cake is sweet, the candles cry Someone whispers, “Say goodbye” Spin around, the room goes red Did you count the missing heads? [Pre-Chorus] Clap your hands and close your eyes Truth is buried under lies Every grin begins to crack Something’s smiling back [Chorus] It’s happy hour, don’t be late Smile wide at the rusted gate Sip your joy and drown your fear The monsters only come when you hear The children singing through the walls The laughter when the shadows crawl Happy hour, stay and play No one ever leaves this place [Bridge] Tick-tock, the clock don’t stop (Ain't gonna stop) The music never dies Tiptoe through the dark And never trust the eyes Sweet dreams, bad screams The candles all burn blue If you hear your name at night It’s already found you [Final Chorus] It’s happy hour, one more round Listen to that lovely sound Broken music, crooked grin Once you start, you’re pulled within The lights go out, the party stays Lost inside the endless maze Happy hour, sing away And let the dark become your day [Outro] So raise your glass and count to four… There’s someone standing at the door… Still smiling like they did before… But they don’t have a face anymore
