Wave and Ruin lyrics

Never both at the same time Never my whole face all at once When someone's watching, I'm just the mask When no one's looking, I become a storm No one ever knows the whole me Just a piece at a time, never the truth A wave when no one's watching A particle when someone decides to measure I never knew which version was real Both together would make me disappear Maybe no one lied Maybe we just see what we want to see Wave and ruin, never both together Never my entire face all at once I show the part that suits me And I call that being who I am, maybe But every mask has a hidden price And I pay with everything I've ever been Now I understand what happens You can't observe without changing what you see Every time they try to understand me completely One of the versions hides again Wave and ruin, never both together Never my entire face at once I show the part that suits me And I call that being who I am, perhaps But every mask has a hidden price And I pay with everything I once was There is no measure without loss There is no gaze without ruin They wanted to see me all at once And I lost myself trying to be whole in the lie Wave and ruin, never both together Never my entire face all at once I show the part that suits me And I call that being who I might be But every mask has a hidden price And I pay with everything I once was Never both things at the same time Never my whole face all at once
