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
