The Other Side Of The Door
-July 16, 1968-
Im drivin to school.. so i can continue slaving for graves.. but the clock isnt waiting
Im running late.. but theres yet another traffic build up due to the constant raining
The cops are tellin everyone wasting their time.. water had flooded over the ridge
But fuck waiting.. i decided it was in my best interest to go over the rickety bride
As i pull my car up.. it didnt look stable at all... but i didnt have the time to slack
But after i my car reached the middle of the bridge.. the boards started to crack
I started back.. but it was to late for me.. as the car fell into the unescapable sea
I did my best to breathe, but i could only get a few breaths..... it sucked for me
I guess u could say i was lucky.. some fireman pulled me out.. treated me like an egg
But as i made my first attempt to breathe.. i realized that i just couldnt move my legs
I went to the ER.... in a nice way they said i should be thankful i hadnt drowned
But their best doctor came in and said i had been paralyzed from my neck and down

20 years passed.. and its like paralyization has turned my mind into a thrashing bear
Cause everytime i seem to go outside.. all i recieve are peoples laughs and stares
Everyday i ask where my life is goin.. but it seems pointless.. cause im all alone
But i just want to be better again, so i take my wheelchair and head to my doctors home
Hes been retired for 11 years, but i still go.. the number of patients he still sees, few
But when i go.... i just come to ask the same question that i always seem to do
He already knows im screwed.. but he also knows that i dont want to be ignored
And after he sat down on the couch.. he said theres no way to fix the spinal cord
That finally pushed me over the top.. 20 years, and still not a cure to be bought
So i pulled a gun from my wheelchair and told me if he didnt fix me hed be shot
He saw my breaking spot.. but he was tryin to be calm cause he didnt want to fight
But i refused to lower my hand gun.. so instead he began to start to beg for his life
I could tell he was right.. so i turned my gun on myself, i just wanted to end this war
I knew it would be better for everyone.. if i went On The Other Side Of The Door

The doctor i spoke of has rised on stage.. as he begins to look the crowd in their eyes
As after i died he came out of retirment.. and now he is accepting the Nobel Prize
As he prepares to start his speech.. he couldnt help but have tears roll down his cheeks
When he told the whole audience our story, and how it lasted thousands of weeks
His voice was weak.. he said his discovery of healing the spinal cord was the key
But as he continued to break down in tears.. he dedicated everything he did to me
So now as i sit in heaven, id like to think if i was still alive.. everything would be alright
But as i figured out, on the Other Side Of The Door, for me.. was all just great light
Though i do miss the doctor, all he tried to do for me.. and our friendly growth bust
I still believe that me leavin the world.. was the best thing i could do for the both of us
