A Badge for the Swallowed Man, Please

Put the badge on him
It�s all his doing
�Abuser�
The red echo rises up
Now life swallows him, deep
Remember when he
Stank out the house
With his foul breath
Fists all curled and itching
Forget that slap that stung
On your face for years
Cheer up, why you look so sad?
The red mark is gone, but I still feel it
Don�t mention it again, brother
Stuff it deep with all the other sad things.
It was never, ever about us
Only you, you, you
