she was imploring me think of all
we will both regret
remember these sweet moments
that we used to share
if you can't feel grace
in any illusion
you'll never be able
to love any one
yr eyes lost their sparkles
yr love hurts & darkens
i needed us to last
but now i have lost our track
tell me where yr soul's lurking
& why winter gives no hope to spring
let me light the way for you
& lead us to somewhere new
she was crying think of all
we could've tried to build
let our beautiful memories
set yr gloomy soul at ease
look now my tears turn to
a torrential rain
please honey in the name of love
just give us one last chance
it's like i'm seeing you thru a haze
it's like you're losing yr own shape
yr flesh is cotton lace
you no longer fill yr own space
tell me where yr heart's been buried
tell me who stole it from me
tell me why the fuck i was mistaken
i never mistook hell for heaven
no sparkle in my eyes
not a tear shed for those lies
nothing is eternal
those who rise they always fall
no word i'd like to scream
no reason to care for what i've been
no paradise in me
there's no place left for yr dreams

there's no way to win
when you are yr worst enemy
now that you know what i have been
what can you expect from me
maybe i'm going too fast
or i've already gone too far
but i will love you to the last
i can't live with no heart
there's too much to lose
that's why i cherish time
when i spend it with you
instead of wasting mine
fearing what i'm going thru
for loving you this way
oh what a price to pay
you say the wait prepares for pain
& leads to pleasure in the end
life without you kills like a mourning
& love's not a lonely feeling
i've got too much to lose
so i only cherish time
when i spend it with you
instead of wasting mine
fearing what i'm going thru
for loving you this way
while you keep me at arm's length
all what you never tell
& what i don't dare
what you never share
all what i can't guess
oh
what silence reveals
what words conceal
what makes me ill
wounds i can't heal
all my mistakes
i'm digging my own grave

i've had war
with yr recollection
for ages now
it seems like
trying to find you back
didn't get me anywhere
what do i have left
but this sullen life
what have i become
you had no right
to disappear
without trace
where are you
when my blue
turns to black
when you're not around
i'm out of existence
i'm just a wreck
i've got yr name
engraved
on the heart
my whole life
between yr legs
love was sweetness & sweat
i didn't give a shit
about what would come next
or what life could be instead
but since you've been gone
i've even lost sight
of who i'd always been
where are you
when my blue
turns to black
when you're not around
i'm out of existence
i'm just a wreck
where are you
when my blue
turns to black
when you're not around
i'm out of existence
i'm just a wreck

holy thoughts
nestled in yr skull
& yr heart
yr soiled banner
so many people
no one's expecting you
yr own body the only playground
you've ever known
too old to be
born so late
too lonely to feel
isolated
no use shouting
yrself hoarse
no link with
the outer world
uh
morpheus
is gnashing his teeth
dreams just disclose
all yr unconfessed longings
oh what a choice
that noise
or mutism's heavy promises
well silence
is just no cradle
for yr peace
older than yr
ancestors
each second weighs
a ton
homeland
rhymes with
nothing
homeland
just means
nothing
yr brain burns
you're getting closer to this
the more you're scared
the less you understand
& all yr speeches
bear out this strange belief
the voice of reason echoes the words
of someone else
anything
for a
helping hand
for anyone
holding yr
deserted hand
but no light
straight
in the eye
don't you look at me
straight
in the eye

she's a queen
in a class of her own
no one like her around
& the way she gives
herself up to
nothing but loving you
bathed in moonlight
blurring yr vision
though out of sight
she'll never fall into oblivion
it's not love you feel
it's slavery for real
cuz she stole yr sleep
when licking yr lips
no respite
love's a fight
& she's the hunter
& she's so much stronger
than you will ever be
as long as you'll hear her
humming
da da da da da
& still as far as you can remember
ain't it a shame
you were doomed to failure
you've tried so hard
to turn yr back on her
by everytime
you just came back to her
now you can't manage
without her around
now it's way too late
yr heart caught you unaware
so you're bound
to her
forever
da da da da da
you're not worth a thing
when she's dancing
you're not worth a thing
before yr queen

i'm a swine
but it's fine
coz i'm looking for something divine
i'm yr slave
if you pay
i'm here as long as there's a packet to make
i'm yr bitch
swallow spit
glory's worth sucking fucking dicks
i'm as sharp
as a knife
i don't just fancy a fuck with yr wife
tell me you're not like them
& you don't feel the same
coz you're my kontrRAaddiktion
my fucking addiction
i'm yr mate
secret hate
i won't leave you till you're a total wreck
i'm yr lover
yr mental torture
i only get off when i screw other girls
i'm yr itch
slut addict
oh c'mon fucker take it out on me
klench yr fists
break my knees
i'll still be yr fatal disease
tell me you're not like them
you do not feel the same
coz you're my kontrRAaddiktion
my fucking addiction
tell me you're not like them
you do not feel the same
coz you're my kontrRAaddiktion
my fucking addiction
tell me you're not like them
you do not feel the same
coz you're my kontrRAaddiktion
my fucking addiction

thousands of thorns scratch my skin
hundreds of nails slash my face
my backward life just makes you grin
you won't allow me any rest
i'm on a slippery slope
cuz my life's what you breathe into me
so don't you ever let me grow
as old as my own age-old fears
as my feverish dead ends
as my recurring ruin nights
as my reluctant desires
as my great fateful deviance
you're still crushing me with yr gaze
another me's diving deep into yr eyes
disarmed i recognize
the one you would love at first sight
you say hey change's like a bottomless pit
i'd better try to drag myself out of it
& i can't fail cuz trying will teach
you say trying will teach like a scratch will itch
you say i trust in immutable love baby
change's like a death to me
i'm a common grave to myself
too many corpses you'll never bless
too many feverish dead ends
& recurring ruin nights
& reluctant desires
yeah still this great fateful deviance
dare say it's not becuz of you
dare claim you never wanted it
you placed the ball & chain round my foot
& i should've had to put up with it
no more feverish dead ends
no more recurring ruin nights
no more reluctant desires
freedom's my life's mating dance
i'll always change that's all i can do
let's start with living without you
no one will ever hold me back
except the girl whose heart beats like mine

Guts

don't know why my wounds improve yr pain
wonder why you talk to me again
tell me why i should read between the lines
& why truth's always more agonizing than lies
every tear of mine
eats into yr guts
every scream of mine
splits yr chest open
don't know why you'd save me from myself
wonder why there's this smile on yr face
tell me why you've just never let me down
coz you know i'd be much freeer on my own
every tear of mine
eats into yr guts
every scream of mine
splits yr chest open
why d'you have to cry for me
you'll never soothe my existence
why are you always dying
in my presence
every tear of mine
eats into yr guts
every scream of mine
splits yr chest open
why d'you think you're good for me
yr faith won't help any of us
i see you crack till you burst
& who's guilty
well i'm guilty

i have been told
see life like what it is
i have been taught
not to believe in dreams
i must admit
i never really understood
what these words meant
at all
so i skipped
every similar step
just to test
to shift for myself
just to build
a cool world of my own
a place to call
home
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the clouds
some say one's worth
the other
but i'd rather stay high
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the
clouds
waiting for both
to leave the ground
still enslaved
by their traditions
which don't reflect
my pale reflection
i will struggle
like the very devil
until i can take off
let me come
out of these quicksands
& be
someone
at least to myself
help me build
a cool world of my own
& you will be welcome
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the clouds
some say one's worth
the other
but i do need to stay high
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the
clouds
waiting for both
to leave the ground
i'll let the light
invade my mind
& see life thru
firefleyes
getting lost
in the skies
brighter than the moon
at night
seeing life thru
firefleyes
spark a fire
in my mind

i've just called yr name
a thousand times
but don't think i'm insane
i'm just sad sometimes
i envy you
& yr great escape
& the life you chose
coz mine is such a waste
i was yours before
you softly led the way
why would i've asked for more
why would i've asked for less
allmighty memories
now the future makes me laugh
now i'm only walking
towards nothing at all
coz you just lit
the fuse
then you just left
me bruised
can't say you let me down
coz you're still everywhere
interfering with thoughts
with which you've no concern
& oh yr sweet poison
is slowly taking effect
oh what an execution
to fall into yr grip
coz you just lit
the fuse
then you just left
me bruised
& now
i curse you my love
& i hate the one i've become
& i'm
colliding with a wall
now that i know
i'm not the chosen one

nausea & stomach pain
i've thrown up my old age again
it was so easy
back then
youth's always been
underrated
i can't help
looking at the other side
at the scattered marks & signs
a broken dream
it is the other side
oh the other
it's only scratches
only bruises
a kid's stories
no bandages
it's just memories
the life i've been living
the way i've felt things
no bandages
saddened soul & tears shed
i'm still mourning my helplessness
every breath leads
to the grave
i only learned
how to regret
so frail
& fast
i belong to the past
this body of mine's but a corpse
the good old days
just ripped me apart
then i got lost
it's more than scratches
more than bruises
it's a kid's trophies
no bandages
mausoleum & screams
the life i've been wasting
the way i've screwed up things
no bandages
all the scratches
all the bruises
a kid's fantasy
no bandages
incurably ill
all the lives i've missed
no happy ending
no bandages

all my life
packed in boxes
all that's left's a ghost
my heart can't beat
any longer
since you broke
it
all i've lost
went away with you
all my dreams & hopes
wrapped in these boxes
now i'm left struggling
to live
without you
does it even make sense
i'm not thinking
straight
hey i gotta clear
my head
in a little while
maybe i'll be wise
but i don't know why
memories hurt so bad
& i'm on fire
loneliness drives
me mad
one last kiss
to feel how much it hurts
how i dearly miss
yr laugh
& yr lips
& yr world
though it ain't gonna help
oh
i miss happiness
i'm not thinking
straight
yr cross is
mine to bear
there's this hole
in my chest
can't let love
slip away
i'm not thinking
straight
drain yr blood
from my veins
there's this hole in
my chest
can't let love
slip away

GOOMH Lille, France
Mainly influenced by the grunge movement, but also heavily by indie rock, the world of the Lille based band GOOMH mixes
melodic violence, wild rhythmic, a cascading voice and raw lyrics.
GOOMH now emerges as a power trio: Alexis, singer and guitarist supported by Julien on bass and Nicolas on drums. They deliver an atypical music where violence, sensitivity, overdrive and crazy rhythms collide.
