Katie Locke: Music
Perfect Hue
(Katie Locke)
Verse 1: I used to be the best human doormat that you'd see
If your boots were dirty, I'd take the mud right off your feet
And I played by the rulebook, never questioned a single word
But as I grew I wondered, whose delusions did I serve?
But like a captive clings to hope, I held to what I'd known.
Chorus: I get so tired of being told what I should do
And why must they fight everything that I pursue?
I don't lose faith; I'm a flower of the Perfect Hue, the Perfect Hue.
Verse 2: The other day, I chose not to mask the way I felt
For what's the point to hide behind a plastic smile that never melts?
And I took the long road, the one that frightened all the passersby
For the first time in my life, I became satisfied
Words and faces fade away, not the stance you take.
Chorus: (repeat)
Bridge: Now I can look and finally like what I see
Looking at the face staring back at me.
Chorus: (repeat twice)
