Tendon by Reade McCardell Lyrics
There's a man (if you can call him a man)
Lives on an island by himself with only the birds and the Lord to talk to
Roughly thirty feet tall without a scrap of skin at all
And a smile - give you nightmares for a month
His lidless eyes have seen unthinkable things
Castaways crushed by his own hands
He saw no difference between them and the peccaries
Sun-bleached and painted their bones
He didn't see it as a crime
He didn't know
He didn't know
So the Lord has a place for him
A little villa in heaven where he can press his own oil and make pottery
There he'll have people to love
A suit of beautiful skin to dress the wound his earthly life had been
Lives on an island by himself with only the birds and the Lord to talk to
Roughly thirty feet tall without a scrap of skin at all
And a smile - give you nightmares for a month
His lidless eyes have seen unthinkable things
Castaways crushed by his own hands
He saw no difference between them and the peccaries
Sun-bleached and painted their bones
He didn't see it as a crime
He didn't know
He didn't know
So the Lord has a place for him
A little villa in heaven where he can press his own oil and make pottery
There he'll have people to love
A suit of beautiful skin to dress the wound his earthly life had been
