Worse What a wonderful, watertight EP. Brims with dreamy guitars and lovesick lyrics. Anybody Else's ending ascends, and Daisy Chain's chorus hits like a truck. I'm probably not the first to compare this to Turnover and the style they departed after Peripheral Vision; Muted Color beautifully recaptures that summery essence, and I can't wait to see potential releases down the line. Favorite track: Anybody Else.

Anybody Else 04:06
I don’t have the words to share Or at least the ones you want to hear So I won’t say anything at all No I’ll keep quiet To keep me from lying Cause that’s what’ll happen if I open my mouth I think the last thing we need Is me speaking out loud Yeah The last thing we need Is me opening my mouth I will crash As fast as I can From wherever I am at Into the palm of your hand And Just go as far as I know we can It’s okay, I'm not looking back How do I know if where I’m at Is where I’m supposed to be Constant pressure that I feel trapped in Picking the locks to your room Discover then vanish And over examine the words I’ve inked are coming true I don’t understand it I don’t even know if that’s what you’re asking me to do Is that what you want me to do ? It’s obvious that I’ll never learn Cause In the end I’ll still get burned I never knew how much it’d hurt To be on my own and not with her So let me go now I just gotta get out I can’t stand any longer When you’re around I gotta get away Cause every single day It’s only getting harder to figure you out And I know it’s because you’re still haunted But why is it too much to be honest With me With yourself With anybody else With me With yourself With anybody else (2x)

Run with me, Let’s catch the breeze Or I could stay right here, In my seat Glued to the floor Maybe I’ll move In a minute or two I’m smiling, you’re lying But I’m still trying to Ride this wave It’s comprised of everything I’ve made, I’ve tried to replace The ghost of who I was, If we’re lucky, he might find us Grasping at the pulleys To release the bags Beneath my eyelids Slow down baby, All she keeps saying Let’s talk later, I’m still waiting I can’t change her I’ll lose patience Every day staying Another day wasted If I burned this bridge, Would you still try and cross? Sorry what I wanted is What scared you off The ghost of who I was If we’re lucky, he might find us Grasping at the pulleys To release the bags Beneath my eyelids The ghost of who I was If I’m lucky, he might find me Cause I see demons in the mirror And they look just like me Run with me, Let’s catch the breeze Or I could stay right here, In my seat Glued to the floor Maybe I’ll move In a minute or two Run with me, Let’s catch the breeze Or I could stay right here, In my seat

Daisy Chain 04:01
Dress up like someone else and pretend like that’ll help All because you’re afraid of being yourself I’ll be blue If it makes you happy Cause in my mind I am trapped in All because I was scared this wouldn’t Happen I hope you hunch til the end of time You have no guts and you have no spine All because you’re afraid of making the time So I’ll give you space to breath that’s fine And I’m your spare time I’ll leave you behind I’ll Give you space to breathe Just fine Daisy Chain All the words you say Together their they’re tethered In my brain Cause my heads held hostage By all these constant Thoughts of you and I Every single night Now every song You’re bound a mention Tell me love is that enough attention for you ? It was never enough for you So I’ll give you space to breath that’s fine And in your spare time I’ll leave you behind I’ll give you space to breathe Where will I find you I don’t believe That you’re searching for me The same way that I do for you A lifetime I’ll spend Stuck in my head Cause it’s the one place You haven’t left yet Haven’t left yet (2x) Where will I find you (Even if my body screams) I don’t believe that you’re searching for me The same way that I do for you (Even if my body screams) Where will I find you I don’t believe that you’re searching for me

You give and you take I’ll fix what you break You know you deserve it I hope this was worth it Just an interstellar girl Stuck inside of your world You are the knot in my stomach You are the reason I’m nothing You wanted to matter So you proved that I don’t You wanted to matter So you let me go But you look like a warm night And you taste just like sunshine And baby I’m alright With you in the moonlight I’ll forgive you this one time This one time This must be love Cause this hurts like hell And this must be done Cause I’m all by self (This must be done) You are the reason I lose sleep (This must be done) You are the reason I can't breath This must be done

Lilac Lover 03:17
I had this thought With eyes wide shut That alcohol can clean my cuts But liquor won’t erase my love for you Now pictures of us line my pockets I’m on the run And I can’t stop these feelings for you No I can’t stop these feelings I’ve got for you Everything is lavender When I hear your laughter Everything gets easier I’m finally feeling happier Lilac Lover Bound to each other Do I love you Or do I hate myself The line is blurred And I can’t tell the difference (And I can’t tell, and I can’t tell) And I can’t tell the difference This crystal ball Is getting so fogged That I can't tell what’s gonna happen to us When tomorrow comes When tomorrow comes Everything is lavender When I hear your laughter Everything gets easier I’m finally feeling happier Lilac lover Bound to each other Lilac lover Bound to each other Lilac lover Found another Lilac lover
