Lyrics:
One foot two we march along to
The beat of someone else's drum what else can we do

Always got something to prove
We work to please we turn the cheek expect nothing

It's not hard to see why we end up dead
One bad day when you're close to the edge
Rub some dirt in it and you'll be fine
Bottle up, and toss it out

(x2)
I'm beggin on my knees
Got my fingers intertwined 
I'm prayin for relief 
For a little piece of mind
They push me to the edge
Couple miles past wit's end
Like an old doormat
Footprints tattooed on my chest

One by one
We fall to our knees
So wipe the dirt from off your feet the mat is me

We strain beneath
the weight of the world
We try to grin and bear it as it tears us apart

Then he walked up to the ledge
He stepped right up to his final stead
He thought back to all the things they said
He said fuck it and he leapt

(x3)
I'm beggin on my knees
Got my fingers intertwined 
I'm prayin for relief 
For a little piece of mind
They push me to the edge
Couple miles past wit's end
Like an old doormat
Footprints tattooed on my chest

Doormat

Song about old friends. 
Lyrics:
You see my friends used to be my everything
Now they’re nothin to me
Because I’m nothin to them
And I’m so sick and tired of all their shit
And I’ll probably never talk to a couple again
Even after every thing we’ve been through
Not a call or a text always left me on read
Well i guess the silence then it must be for the best
It was all just a phase, there was nothing to gain

I can’t lie a few days can’t go by without thinkin of times we created inside of my brain
So why for the sake of a high did you take all the paths that you've taken aside from the way
You lied and you flaked on the day my son came tell me why did you change? Because i stayed the same
Do you hate me? You irate or crazy now i feel insane. Tell me why did you change? Why did you 
Change?
Tell me why did you change
Because I stayed the same
Tell me why did you change change

Never had a fight or a reason to sever the ties
So why’d you go out and change your whole life
You had a lot of friends that wished you the best
Guess you didn’t feel the same cuz you got up and left
How the fuck i make amends when you’re gone without a trace
Why is it you think i can wash away your face
Was it all just a phase
Was is all just a game to you
Are you entertained
For you this song was made

I can’t lie a few days can’t go by without thinkin of times we created inside of my brain
So why for the sake of a high did you take all the paths that you've taken aside from the way
You lied and you flaked on the day my son came tell me why did you change? Because i stayed the same
Do you hate me? You irate or crazy now i feel insane. Tell me why did you change? Why did you
Change?
Tell me why did you change
Because I stayed the same
Tell me why did you change change

Now nothing remains
I guess I should’ve gave up a long time ago like everybody else
I thought we were cool i guess that i was wrong
Now I’m nothin to you and you’re nothin to me
