Malady
Unveiling the Shadows: Imperative Reaction's Malady Revealed
Lyrics
She tries to deny what's on the inside
She attempts to ignore or reject her inner feelings or struggles.
She lies to disguise the infection that has seized her mind
She lies to hide the mental turmoil that has taken control of her.
But we've all seen it now no use in trying to hide
Despite her attempts, others have now recognized her internal struggles, and hiding them is futile.
These thoughts she wants to disavow but we just won't abide
Her thoughts, which she wishes to disown, are not accepted or overlooked by those around her.
She strives to defy what's on the outside
She resists acknowledging external challenges or issues.
She fights to portray the perfection that eludes her mind
She fights to present an image of perfection that she believes is missing from her life.
But we've all seen it now no use in trying to hide
Similar to line 3, her attempts to conceal her struggles externally are in vain.
This truth it kills her everyday but she just smiles and hides
The truth about her situation affects her daily, but she pretends to be unaffected with a smile.

But we've all seen it now the new and perfect fake
Despite her efforts, a new, perfect façade is recognized by others.
And still she holds her head up high believes she's fooled us all
She remains confident in fooling everyone despite the unveiled truth.
She dreams of what I have this voice will haunt her
She dreams of possessing something the speaker has, and this desire haunts her.
Her angel's gone away it's rejection that leaves her behind
