There are souls which fall from heaven like flowers, but ere they bloom are crushed under the foul tread of some brutal hoof.
I've got mad energy for days. That's what people can't get their minds around. They say, 'Oh, he's going to crash.' They try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don't fit into their little box.
