"Behind Blue Eyes"
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows
What it's like to be hated
To be fated to telling only lies
Horatio Caine was a man of few words, but when he chose to speak he really wished it was the truth that he could say. Don't get him wrong he never lied at work, but the rest of his life was. Everyone thought that it was his fashion sense that had him wearing his sunglasses all the time, but it wasn't. They hid the lies that he told with his eyes.
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
Sitting on the back deck of his beach house, Horatio sipped at his beer and tried to remember a time when he didn't feel like this. But the only time that he felt whole was when he was sleeping and under the spell of the dream master. That was when he could be free and loves the one that he was to be with, but couldn't be in life. He was never free.
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do, and I blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
Horatio stood at the scene and watched his team work, trying to remain calm when he was a torrid storm on the inside. He had learned at an early age not to show any emotion for it only brought on more pain.
No one knows what it's like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies
Horatio stared down on the lifeless body of the blue eyed child as Alexx wrapped the small body for transport. How many times in his youth had it almost been him in this position? How many times had he wished that someone would say that they were sorry and that he didn't have to lie anymore?
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes.
Putting on his sunglasses, Horatio went back to being the bad man. The man that had to tell the parents that their son didn't make it because he wasn't fast enough.
The End.
