Breakup Song 03:56
Whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh oh We were so happy So in love So inseparable It was incredible But you changed your mind Left me behind Found another man Who was better for you For you Whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh oh Now I hate every word You ever said to me Every broken promise Every broken dream And I hate your body And I hate your smile I'm still haunted by them I'm still haunted by you By you Let's do it again Whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh oh Get out of my head I want to forget But my memory Show's no mercy I, I gave you my heart You, you tore it apart I, I tore up my love songs That I wrote for you For you One more time now! Whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh whoa oh oh, oh oh Whoa oh oh When will I ever see The light of day again When will I be free From this torture and pain When will I ever feel Nothing at all for you As soon as I kill my heart I will be free, I will be free

You take your lessons wisely Learn to play by all the rules Follow trends and fashions blindly Like all the kids at school They never knew your name Take your victories as you get them Take your prize and run away Hope they come with no surprises With all the games they play They still don't know your name You forgive and you forget What you give is what you'll get It's all the same You remember back to seventh grade In a shack out by the pool Fumbling blindly in the darkness She told all the girls at school You couldn't play the game And all the boys they called you faggot Stole your books and ran away Spit on you and beat you senseless But that's just a game they play They won't remember your name You forgive and they forget What you give is what you'll get It's all the same She earned her reputation In the backseat of a car You heard from all the boys at school You never got that far She used to be so hungry Always meant to be a star But that little voice inside her head said Stay right where you are You rose above that situation And went on to be a man Left behind all those boys at school Trying to do the best they can They're doing just the same She went on to be half empty Serving cheap, domestic beer To all the boys who called you faggot Trying to relive better years They don't remember her name You forgave and they forgot Oh you gave and you gave and you gave and you gave But this is all you got

Better High 04:18
Skeleton conversations repeat again and again Never said I was better than other men But your eyes paint a picture unfair Shades of ghosts neither here nor there Down in my cave I formulate a plan Desperate conjurations to build a better man Deceptions, perhaps, but they are my own A hope, a prayer, a foolish seed to be sown But oh, oh no no This shit was weeks ago Haven't we laid these demons to rest Oh my my I liked you better high I just wanted that off of my chest Oh my my my Mental fistfights break out between us I fear they'll be our end But your face still makes my heart sing songs Shades of ghosts of what once was Up in my tower I can see Houses, smokestacks and shopping malls Consumer idolatry I am told I could build a better home world And oh, oh no no That shit was months ago Shouldn't we lay these demons to rest Oh my my I liked you better high I just wanted that off of my chest Oh my my my All these obstacles you put before me Are simple roadblocks that stand in my way They shadow like ghosts that haunt my periphery But we both said what we had to say Down on the ground I blend into the masses Seeking refuge from what I had No longer content to let you possess me I could build a better you Oh, Oh no no This shit was years ago Can't we lay these demons to rest Oh my my I liked you better high I just wanted that off of my chest Oh my my my

Socrates 05:19
There's a scared little girl in the mirror She says Why are you looking at me? You've become everything you said you wouldn't I'm part of who you used to be You stand on the shoulders of giants and claim to be tall You were built with the wisdom of ages but still you claim you know nothing at all The truth of it is you're so very small The truth of it is your back's against the wall Please don't be Socrates. This hemlock is not for you This cup full of poison is all that they'll offer you They'll take you away and strip you of your dignity If not for yourself then for who you were meant to be I'm not your savior. Please don't be my follower They fed you their lies and naively you swallowed them It's no surprise you've become just like all of them No don't fade away Don't drink their poison Don't drink their poison You'll never make it out alive You'll never make it out alive There's an angry young man in the mirror He says. This is what you used to be You'd add fuel to their flames with a caustic refrain of Stand up for what you believe! I saw you with blood on your hands I saw you with fire in your eyes I saw you reduced to a shell of a man But still you wouldn't concede to their lies I saw you with hope on your face I saw you with stars in your eyes You swore one day you'd get away from this place Now you're stuck here and I can't say I'm surprised Please don't be Socrates. This hemlock is not for you This cup full of poison is all that they'll offer you They'll take you away and strip you of your dignity If not for yourself then for who you used to be It goes on like a sad parade Your hopes and your dreams reduced to charade Was it worth it? The price that you paid No don't fade away Don't drink their poison Don't drink their poison You'll never make it out alive You'll never make it out alive There's a scared little boy in the mirror He says. Why are you looking at me? You've become everything you said you wouldn't I'm part of who you used to be You stand on the shoulders of giants and claim to be tall You were built with the wisdom of ages but still you claim you know nothing at all The truth of it is you're so very small The truth of it is your back's against the wall Please don't be Socrates. This hemlock is not for you This cup full of poison is all that they'll offer you They'll take you away and strip you of your dignity If not for yourself then for who you were meant to be It goes on like a sad parade Your hopes and your dreams reduced to charade Was it worth it? The price that you paid No don't fade away Don't drink their poison Don't drink their poison You'll never make it out alive You'll never make it out alive Don't drink their poison Don't drink their poison You'll never make it out alive You'll never make it out alive

Nostalgia 04:54
They say that death rides a pale horse Forces gather to rain hell upon us Has the world gone crazy? Is it just me Sometimes it's just so hard to tell If I let go will it all fall apart? Should I really even care? We fought so hard and what did it come to? Now you say I've crossed the line There is no past, sure ain't no future It's really just a point of view, you see As I am drawn to the abyss Staring madness in the face Memories broken and hard to sift through For the ones I've left behind Breathing in that same old scent Nostalgia, you're on my mind Lovers embrace through the chaos of it all I can see it. I can see. I have heard my call It isn't God and it isn't fate We are the authors of it all, you see And so to save you, I am the villain A mercy you will never understand And in the end nothing ever ends As we wander this world blind Breathing in that same old scent Nostalgia, you're on my mind You're on my mind You're on my mind

about

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Currently based in Tacoma Washington, BBB has been making music together for over 7 years now.

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a small group of experienced musicians came together at open mic and began playing each other's music together. Playing music became writing music. Writing music became recording music, so they banded together and began to grow into Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo...and it was good.
