I was born on the song of the starlight
I was raised on the nectar of zeus
Made whole by the creature called kraken
Kissed by the mermaids i choose

Son of a moonlight sinata
Son of the Longing close felt
Brother of the bottom of the ocean
Cousin to the deep blue sea

Ive seen him Try
But Try as he might
he will never be me

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

could those lines be any cooler?

Wonderful imagery in this Paul...as well as the theme and word play.
Well done Poet Sir

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.
