Lyrics:

Oh, these things we do to ourselves
We love and we hate,
Forgive and forget

You crept under my skin
Made a home in my foundations,
But now the walls are wearing thin
And I broke my bones, after yet another fall
But toughened skin and numbed senses mean I don’t hurt at all

I can feel the fire building inside
I’m gonna let it burn

Oh, these things we do to ourselves
We love and we hate,
Forgive and forget
But it all matters in the end
Each day a lesson is learned,
Just gotta grow from it

I refuse to believe,
This is the end of me
I’m just getting started,
There’s still so much I want to be

I’m just getting started,
You can count on that
I’ve only been slowed down,
I’ll never be held back
If pain is what I have to bear,
To come out stronger
I’ll welcome it with open arms
I’ll walk right through the fire

I can feel the fire racing inside
I’m gonna let it burn

Oh, these things we do to ourselves
We love and we hate,
Forgive and forget
But it all matters in the end
Each day a lesson is learned,
Just gotta grow
And somehow I knew,
The last time is saw you would be the last
I know you felt it too
The spark turned into flames and burnt out so fast

There’s no other choice,
I’ll pick myself up again, again

Oh, these things we do to ourselves
We love and we hate,
Forgive and forget
But it all matters in the end
Each day a lesson is learned,
Just gotta grow from it
Oh, these things we do to ourselves
Forgive and forget

This is all totally normal, right?

Defences 2026-09-11 | Government corruption breaks public trust and covers up sanctioned state violence, while rising right-wing nationalism shreds democratic norms, deepens social divides, and strips away basic freedoms.

Defences 2026-09-09 | Government corruption degrades public trust and tries to trivialise public executions from sanctioned immigration enforcement, while rising right-wing nationalism strains democratic norms, exacerbates social polarization, and restricts civil liberties.

LYRICS:
Imagine, her eyes are glistening
And now they’re wondering
Where has she been?
Where has she been?
Terrified, no they don’t sleep at night
Too hard to close their eyes
And say goodnight

Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for an answer, so tell me
Where does it end,
And where do I begin?
I've been thrown off the rhythm

Honestly, can you imagine?
Sitting alone his mind is racing
Just another broken boy with broken dreams
Can’t seem to close our eyes for anything, just waiting
The sun will rise, the day unchanged
And still we lay

Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for an answer, so tell me
Where does it end,
And where do I begin?
I've been thrown off the rhythm

Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for an answer, so tell me
Where does it end,
And where do I begin?
I've been thrown off the rhythm

Imagine
Glistening
Where has she been, where has she been?

Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for an answer, so tell me
Where does it end,
And where do I begin?
I've been thrown off the rhythm

Staring at the ceiling
Waiting for an answer, so tell me
Where does it end,
And where do I begin?
I've been thrown off the rhythm

Lyrics:

They keep telling me don’t ignore it
Tried to bury it, don't wanna live for this
I can feel it rising, creeping
Screaming my name

My thoughts get darker every year I get older
The voices in my head remind me I’m not in control
And now, it’s reaching the point
Where this is all that I know

They keep telling me don’t ignore it
Tried to bury it, don't wanna live for this
I can feel it rising, creeping
Screaming my name

"Nothing you can say"
"Nobody’s listening"
"Put up a front, but is it ever good enough?"
"On your own again, it comes so naturally"
Gotta find your ground while you’re still breathing

And I know I’m not the only one
Who’s battling with demons
When I don’t want to feel anything
But I feel everything

When these thoughts take over
Where do I go?
I can’t escape from my own head
When I’m questioning
All that I know
Can you pull me out of this?

They keep telling me don’t ignore it
Tried to bury it, don't wanna live for this
I can feel it rising, creeping
Screaming my name, and I can hear them say

"Nothing you can say"
"Nobody’s listening"
"Put up a front, but is it ever good enough?"
"On your own again, it comes so naturally"
Gotta find your ground while you’re still breathing

"Nothing you can say"
"Nobody’s listening"
"Put up a front, but is it ever good enough?"
"On your own again, it comes so naturally"
Gotta find your ground while you’re still breathing

I know I’m not the only one
I know I’m not the only one
Battling with demons
Lost in my head, I let them in again (I know I’m not the only one)

Nothing you can say
You’re on your own again
Nobody’s listening
Gotta find your ground while you’re still breathing

"Nothing you can say"
"Nobody’s listening"
"Put up a front, but is it ever good enough?"
"On your own again, it comes so naturally"
Gotta find your ground while you’re still breathing

Lyrics:

Say something, say something
Say something, say anything

Hear me out
I’m trying to explain myself
You’ve always mattered to me
But now more than ever
I don’t say it enough but you’re everything

Every day’s a battle
I’m not fighting to win
I’m only fighting to try and stay in

We’re all blind left to wander
Out into the night
But it’s better we’re alone together
Than wandering on our own
So say something, say anything
I need to know you’re there
Say something, say anything
‘Cus I can’t see you from down here

You’ve held my hand, help me understand
Showed me the way home
And I can’t get through this alone
Try as I might
Some days I have no hope
I can’t even pick up the phone
And when I’m lost in my thoughts
Or I can’t see clear at all
Don’t give up on me
I need you so don’t ever leave
The faith you have in me bests anything my fears try to tell me
Keep believing

We’re all blind left to wander
Out into the night
But it’s better we’re alone together
Than wandering on our own
So say something, say anything
I need to know you’re there
Say something, say anything
‘Cus I can’t see you from down here

At the bottom of this hole
In a place that feels like home
You know I never thought I would
Oh how the tables have turned

We’re all blind left to wander
Out into the night
But it’s better we’re alone together
Than wandering on our own
So say something, say anything
I need to know you’re there
Say something, say anything
‘Cus I can’t see you from down here

‘Cus I can’t see you from down here

Lyrics:

Strength comes in all forms
Isn’t that what they say?
Thought I used to be strong
And somewhere along the way
Everything changed
When did this happen, our time slipped away

I’m still only doing okay
Wouldn’t say I’m great
But I wanna get better
Yeah I wanna get better
And that’s the biggest thing that’s changed

When I’m dyed in the wool
Tell me “we’ll do this together”
Keep me close and we’ll pull
Each other out of the gutter
It took a while to draw the curtains from my eyes
I think somehow I’m still adjusting to the light

Take my hand and keep me close
Cus I can feel myself becoming a ghost (becoming a ghost)
When all I used to be is just a distant memory
Pull me away from goodnight
There's more for me to see
I just need a little light

When I’m dyed in the wool
Tell me “we’ll do this together”
Keep me close and we’ll pull
Each other out of the gutter
It took a while to draw the curtains from my eyes
I think somehow I’m still adjusting to the light

The light
Trust me, keep me closer
Closer

Strength comes in all forms
Didn't someone say?
I know I used to be strong
But then everything changed
Everything changed

When I’m dyed in the wool
Tell me “we’ll do this together”
Keep me close and we’ll pull
Each other out of the gutter
It took a while to draw the curtains from my eyes
I think somehow I’m still adjusting to the light
(It took a while to draw the curtains from my eyes)
The light (I think somehow I’m still adjusting to the light)

Lyrics:

Take what you want from me
You took everything, everything worth taking
Pay for the larceny, look what it's done to me
Look what it's done to me

I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black

Just like you know you are

Count backwards from ten
Back to the start where I let you in
Already consumed by so much loss
Had to escape it at any cost
Where do I even begin?

I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black

Just like you know you are

I've got a confession
I haven't lost everything
Haven't lost, haven't lost, I haven't lost
I've got a confession I haven't lost everything

This is my confession
I haven’t lost everything
As low as I get
There still a glimpse of hope
That gets me back up again

As much as I feel like there's nothing left
Something much bigger than me gives me breath
Into the unknown, I'll carry on

I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black

I'm ready for rain
I'm ready for rain
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black

Defences - False Gods | Behind The Music

Defences 2021-08-27 | A deeper look into the meaning behind the latest single from Defences, 'False Gods'. From the perspective of vocalist & lyricist Cherry Duesbury.

False Gods is inspired by the resounding reaction to a tragic event that caused the world to stop and think. A recognition of the need for collective change in the battlefields of racial equality. A call to hope for a better day, and an evolved mindset of the human race.

Lyrics:

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up

Why must this be the fuel to the fire?
Why does it take a life?
A tragic blessing in disguise
Because it brought to light
The need to define wrong and right

Now we see you, we hear you
Now we want to believe

So much power in the masses
A united voice cannot be ignored
Let the hope for a new way guide us on
When we stand as one they can't unring the bell we rung

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Are they listening?

Do you not see the fundamental flaw?
Protectors of the people one and all
Playing false gods and smiting with resentment
On those they swore to protect

We're all human beings
We're all made of blood and bone
Who are we, how dare we judge on tone
And not the actions of heart and home?

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now we need you screaming

Can we believe?
A better day
A better day

It's about time, I'm ready
For our kind to evolve
And look deeper than the surface
To the heart and the home

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Listen to us screaming

Lyrics:

Save your lies

I've always tried to keep things vague (not let my words)
Not let my words put anyone to shame
But this time, I’ve decided I don't care
No I don’t care because I've had enough
Yeah you've pissed me off

Save your lies, don't deny I know you better than you think I do
After all that you put me through

Why don't you go ahead and
Say it, spit it out
Say that I was just a phase
And you're over it now
Why am I let down by myself
You and everyone else?

Everyone else

Are we just gonna pretend like this didn't tear me apart?
Do you even have a heart, do you even have a heart?
A hard pill to swallow, you left me to choke
But I made it out on my own
And that's all that she wrote

Write it off like a dream you wish you never had
No emotions and no regrets

Why don't you go ahead and
Say it, spit it out
Say that I was just a phase
And you're over it now
Why am I let down by myself
You and everyone else?

Write it off like a bad dream
Say whatever you're thinking
Write it off like a bad dream
Say whatever you're thinking
Write it off like a bad dream (is this what you wanted?)
Say whatever you're thinking (no reason to care)
Write it off like a bad dream (I'm ready to hear it)
Say whatever you're thinking (I swear, I swear, I swear)

Go ahead and say it, spit it out
Say that I was just a phase
And you're over it now
Why am I let down by myself
You and everyone else? (everyone else)

Say it, spit it out (write it off like a bad dream)
Say it, spit it out (write it off like a bad dream)
Say it, spit it out (write it off like a bad dream)
Say it, spit it out

Lyrics:

I heard once grief turns to anger it never goes away
No choice but to believe that this isn’t the case

I’m reaching out, I’ll take the steps
This is just how I’ve always dealt
I push it down
I’ll admit I’m scared to let someone dig around
And it’ll hurt me now, but I’ll heal somehow

When did this become the new normal
I am filled up with so much rage
Tell me it’s not too late for me to change
Didn't want to be this way

This cycle needs to break
So what will it take
Please show me the way

When did this become my normal?
I am filled with so much rage
Tell me it’s not too late for me to change
Never wanted to end up this way

I’ve spent so much time alone
I forgot that there could be more
Help me to rationalise
To compartmentalize
I’m ready for the pain to be gone

Show me there’s something more
Show us there’s something more
Help me to rationalise
To compartmentalize
It’s time for the pain to be gone

Show me the way

When did this become my normal?
I am filled with so much rage
Tell me it’s not too late for me to change
Never wanted to end up this way

If I don’t have time for anyone these days
I’ll make the time to find out why

I know it’ll be tough
And I’ll wanna give up
But something’s gotta give
Because this isn’t enough

It isn't enough
No it’s not enough

I know it’ll be tough
And I’ll wanna give up
But something’s gotta give
Because this isn’t enough

With what little faith that I have left

When did this become my normal?
I am filled with so much rage
Tell me it’s not too late
Never wanted to end up this way

When did this become our normal?
We are filled with so much rage
I swear it’s not too late
Stay together and we’ll find our way
