When I was up
You had doused me in newspaper cupping hands
Had only I leaked through the words in your expense
Open or shut
Would that change what's going on beyond the door
Better check behind the curtains once again just to be sure
What to look for
What to hope for
What I'm looking for
Disguise the lies
What's inside?
Easy to quit
When the fear of being laughed at settles in
I couldn't help but notice how you haven't been
Looking for it
It's easy to find but hard to push it through
I know it's bad to think this way but it seems like my only answer to
It'd be easy too
And surefire too
Oh what should I do
Alive, alive
What's inside?
Not a hopeful friend
Or a simple friend
But a lonely friend
Alive, alive
What's inside?

Funny was once the way I viewed the way other people see
Playing tricks on their thoughts it always seemed to be the most beautiful thing to be
If only all there was to be
Seems so complicated all alone
Sometimes I feel so secure as if I'll always outrun the night
Stuck in the daydream repetition brings although everyone else around is serious
The learner's delirious
But a perspective's just one thing to change
I used to be so fearless until the afternoon sun came down
Living on the right side of the moonlight
But sometimes time takes it's toll on everyone
Just can't help but feel afraid
When there's no reason to be afraid

I met a girl today I hope she likes me
I met a girl today I hope she falls in love with me
And although I know that it doesn't work that way
I don't care cause I don't want to change the way I feel
I wonder if she shares the rhythm I do (shares my rhythm)
I wonder if she has the flaws that I can comfort her on
And I've got to tell her she is so beautiful
And all I want is for this to grow into something good
Now I know that it doesn't work like that
Cause when she says no I know it'll feel so bad oh it'll feel so bad
And then I'll be sad
We would lose what we had
And I will forever be wondering what could have been
I met a girl today I think I like her
I met a girl with whom I wish I could be more than friends
And I'll probably regret this decision
I'm happy just to be thinking about you all of the time

The Thrips Melbourne, Australia
Started in early 2019 under the name "Hot Watson", the Melbourne-based group has been developing their eclectic style. From
their roots as a psych-indie band, as heard on the debut EP, to the angular and dynamic grooves found on Trash Mountain.
Now named "The Thrips" they can be found playing pubs, parties and dog parks (if offered fresh biscuits).
