Not with a bang but with a clatter How ironic that life should feel so hollow No one around to hear my world shatter In this world I don’t even matter So much so, that you don’t even know No one around to hear my world shatter People move about with pitter and patter Yet no one sees as I silently go Not with a bang but with a clatter Birds take flight, and animals scatter They run about with a beautiful flow No one around to hear my world shatter Only to these creatures do I even matter But once I go, they won’t even know Not with a bang but with a clatter As I pull the trigger, making my head splatter No one will remember me, saying “not long ago…” Not with a bang but with a clatter No one around to hear my world shatter

Not With A Bang
Not with a bang but with a clatter How ironic that life should feel so hollow No one around to hear my world shatter In this world I don’t even matter So much so, that you don’t even know No one around to hear my world shatter People move about with pitter and patter Yet no one sees as I silently go Not with a bang but with a clatter Birds take flight, and animals scatter They run about with a beautiful flow No one around to hear my world shatter Only to these creatures do I even matter But once I go, they won’t even know Not with a bang but with a clatter As I pull the trigger, making my head splatter No one will remember me, saying “not long ago…” Not with a bang but with a clatter No one around to hear my world shatter
