IX. work of heart



work of heart


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

work of heart

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.

The band’s lineup has changed since its debut and now GOOMH 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.

GOOMH has extensive live experience ; the band’s debut album, ‘BACKGROUND NOISE’, was released in december 2023.
