When We Break – "Are We Ever Gonna Change?" (Official Audio)

“Are We Ever Gonna Change?” — a hard-hitting emotional metalcore track from When We Break.
A raw collision of crushing heaviness, haunting introspection, and desperate self-reflection, this track dives into the cycle of self-destruction, regret, and the fear that real change might be impossible. Driven by blistering riffs, explosive screams, soaring cleans, and a gut-wrenching breakdown, the song captures the inner war between who you’ve been and who you’re trying to become — the signature When We Break sound at its most vulnerable and brutal.

Lyrics — “Are We Ever Gonna Change?”
I've been running from the ghost in my own mind
Every step I take just keeps me trapped inside
Caught in all the patterns I can't break
Fracturing with every move I make
The healing that I fake just cracks and splits
Every buried lie beneath starts to rise
The shadows that I drag keep calling out my name
Pulling me back to the person I became

I fall back into the same mistakes
How much more of this can I take?

Are we ever gonna change
Or are we meant to stay this broken?
I'm ashamed of who I've been
Terrified of words unspoken
Still burning in the same old flames
Praying somehow I feel something
Are we ever gonna change
Or are we built to break?

I've been trying to become someone I can live with
But I'm drowning in the promises I never finish
Every time I rise, I fall right through
And every step ahead just pulls me back to you
I'm so tired of wearing masks that split at the seams
When I'm barely holding on to broken dreams
I want to think there's something left to save
But I can't crawl out of this grave

I keep telling myself I can rise above
But I'm shattered — am I enough?

Are we ever gonna change
Or are we meant to stay this broken?
I'm ashamed of who I've been
Terrified of words unspoken
Still burning in the same old flames
Praying somehow I feel something
Are we ever gonna change
Or are we built to break?

I'm done with running from the wreck I made
Choking on the mess I carved with my own blade
If I'm the one who chained me down
I'll tear these rusted anchors out
Rip the rot out from my name
Let the fire swallow all my shame
If I'm the reason that I stay the same
Tell me, am I worth the change?

Let me feel it
Let me break
Let me feel it
Let me change

Are we ever gonna change
Or are we meant to stay this broken?
I'm ashamed of who I've been
Terrified of words unspoken
Still burning in the same old flames
Praying somehow I feel something
Are we ever gonna change
Or are we built to break?

Are we ever gonna change…
Or are we built to break?
