And suddenly, I'm nine again.
Written by -R-

Sorrows spread, screams in my head
I feel hollow again
Father's raging words, mother's hurtful stares
And suddenly, I'm nine again
I'm in my dim light room, crying while my parents are asleep
Forcing myself to grow up, forcing maturity to come into me
And suddenly, I'm nine again
Writing songs whilst my head hurts thinking of even speaking
I can't even speak for myself.
I'm sad again
I want my father's trust, and my mother's gentle hums.
I was nine when I started feeling malaise.
