Wonderful 03:26
I would stay in my way just to celebrate The workaround that I found, and use every day Faster than we thought we’d go I would walk all day long just to break away As all the other people run Standing still is all I’ve done Tired of all the secrets we don’t tell But it’s wonderful Everyone I know might go to hell Well it could be worse Resuscitate our dead weight when lifting should be light It’s too fair, these equal shares, when they need it more than I Writing all the wrongs they wrote All we need is self-control Tired of all these secrets we don’t tell But it’s wonderful Everyone I know might go to hell Well it could be worse Time will never tell Eyes are still in thought Thought I’d steal our eyes I would find for you Tired of all these secrets we don’t tell But it’s wonderful Everyone I know might go to hell Well it could be worse Time will never tell what’s next

I’m bored and tense And in a sense, feel guilty of both faces This sacrament meant sacrilege A ledge that I tiptoed too long It’s springtime for embracing doubt Stood for three strikes, now I’m glad I’m out Menacing These words are heard, then fade It came to pass that I’m the bastard son of sloth and progress Sloth’s absentee, and progress beats me With undeserved approval It’s springtime for embracing doubt Stood for three strikes, now I’m glad I’m out Menacing These words are heard, then fade Now there’s one stone and two birds Which one to kill?

Hey Hey 03:07
Hey hey, my mind is overflowing Oh ho, let’s hope it’s something good When it calls to me, and I say that I’ll be right back I would never fall for all the excess Hey hey, I’ve never known what want’s like Oh ho, my least is overhead I would never call to my successes Just because it ends well doesn’t mean We will soon forget the beginning So I would walk away Never wanna start again So I would walk away Hey hey, I wasn’t always like this Oh ho, I’m just misunderstood When it crawls to me, and I always catch up like that I would never fall for all the excess Just because it ends well doesn’t mean We would soon forget the beginning So I would walk away Never wanna start again So I would walk away Hey hey, my mind is always going Oh ho, let’s hope it’s someplace good When you fall for me, and I say that I’ll be right back I would never fall for my successes I would never fall

BFE 02:40
Never been one to suffer from way out there Silence leads to violent listening We rarely walk, we wander, then wonder why Every map is different And now it’s time that we pray Please bless these hands There is no male veil available out there Women win when sects are jettisoned When men descend, say amen, in front of women Men win when they praise them And now it’s time that we pray Please bless these hands to plead The insult was sincere

We can’t decide if they will know I’m just worried, without a line Will they decipher what’s in the notes? Or will they wonder if what we wrote came before? Cuz every song’s been written Including this one And after all the effort, it’s like we’ve just begun Every song’s been written Then suddenly there’s one Pretend you overheard it, absorb it and move on Oh what a moment, a pure genius stroke To get inspiration, like Holy Notes Once the melodic miracle is performed Each tongue confessed that they’d heard this one before Cuz every song’s been written Including this one And after all the effort, it’s like we’ve just begun Every song’s been written Then suddenly there’s one Pretend you overheard it, absorb it and move on Few were the first ones, to use untouched notes Now we’re a collective original So twist it, and turn it, and make a new mold Just share the credit with those who came before Cuz every song’s been written Including this one And after all the effort, it’s like we’ve just begun Every song’s been written Then suddenly there’s one Pretend you overheard it, absorb it and move on

I’m in my own room You’re in your own room Let’s keep it that way Psycho, saint She is an orange She rhymes with orange What does it matter that they’re the same? The right is wrong more than it’s right which must be wrong That sin that’s in the eye of the beholder That sin that’s in They’re in that old age Wherein there’s no change Amend that old fate The left is right more than it’s wrong which must be right What’s left? That sin that’s in the eye of the beholder That sin that’s in

Masterpeace 03:10
So much discomfort, like sweet vinegar Sit with a smile, you tasted it third There’s peace in these pieces, it’s not complicated The Way is so much simpler than the way that I said In time we’ve shown the soft and weak conquer the world Moments before are always better than the goal Every day happens, profound comedy We’re used to a payment, but everything’s free Mouth’s the only open, so we rarely get fed Wu Wei never closes, the way Lao Tzu said In time we’ve shown the soft and weak conquer the world Moments before are always better than the goal Everyone leaning ahead for reward Be the present In time we’ve shown the soft and weak conquer the world Moments before are always better than the goal

Started with one Days led to more opinions They’re alright with being all wrong As long as there’s no way to prove it Raise your flag, burn the pole, wave it out There is no other world, that I can prove If one’s not enough, you don’t know what you’ve got Long, dark hallway Days led to more open doors As they close for business Plan to find ways to walk through walls Raise your flag, burn the pole, wave it out There is no other world, that I can prove If one’s not enough, you don’t know what you’ve got You don’t know what you’ve got I can’t ask for more than what’s real

In the Rain 03:02
I was in the rain when it came last night Drowining everything, then drying like an afterthought And I was in the wind, when it blew every page you read And you were in the wall where I stopped I was in the moonlight casting shadows in the dark And you were like a candle's tiny flame that's seen for miles And I was in the wind, like an idea here then gone And you were in the wall where I climbed and fell I was in the air when you held in your breath And then I was nowhere when you held out your hand You were in the flash of light that dots my eyes And I was in the pen that caused the tears in your goodbyes And I was in the wind, when it blew every page I read And I was in the wall where I climbed and fell Where I climbed and fell Until I stopped

Bless You 04:24
Simpler words were never said: We’re gonna thrive after we’re dead Wanted to feel what wasn’t real Chest is warm, you found the way Like thinking back to better days Resist smallness The biggest forgive I felt the others when they said “It feels so real though” Now I feel the virtue in being swayed Breathe fact, sneeze faith Trust those who seek truth Befriend those with proof If they found it, then let’s doubt it A little boy just doesn’t care Teach him to think, not to beware Of what happens to him after Resist smallness The biggest forgive I felt the others when they said “It feels so real though” Now I feel the virtue in being swayed Breathe fact, sneeze faith

Sofia 06:17
We still read, still see, we’re still listening Recreate yourself Make and leave it, they’ll believe it’s you There’s just one way to live on Leave a piece of you for us I don’t wanna leave I ain’t wasting away Working so I can stay We die young, die old, die anyway And I’ll never live another way Still here Still gone Scared to go, worried we’ll never leave There’s just one way to know We lie young, lie old, can’t stand the truth There’s just one way to live on Resurrect yourself so you don’t Get lost at legacy I ain’t wasting away Working so I can stay We die young, die old, die anyway And I’ll never live another way Still here Still gone

about

Bandhood is the solo project of Andrew Drechsel (Laughter, Motherkilljoy). Teaming up with Andy Patterson, Andrew spent months in the studio recording and mixing tracks that had fallen by the wayside during the course of his other projects. There are metal, rock, indie, folk, and pop bands, but few of them meld all of these genres together cohesively on one album. Bandhood seeks to do just that.
