I think about this song, and how john describes it, a lot

[tmglineaday]

When I hunt down the vampire that did this to us, I will rip out his heart with my hands

[tmg-lyrics-daily]

There is nobody innocent here- I've got more blood on my hands than you do, It's you and it's me, and the baby makes three. Ah, but we've got our love to carry us through. We've got our love to carry us through.

"I suspect but can't prove that this song predates Tallahassee. There's a child involved in the story; that makes it partner to "Poltergeist", and to "Letter from a Motel", songs in which the warring couple risk greater collateral damage than usual. These songs draw some of my better vocal takes out of me, because—well, you know, "collateral damage". It's a phrase you've maybe had occasion to contemplate in quiet hours. Or maybe you haven't, depending on your luck."

i. Marie Lu, The Young Elites

[ "So. Tell me, little wolf. Would you like to punish those who have wronged you?" ]

ii. @/bloodyhellharry

[ Pencil drawing of three panels of a comic strip. The first image is of a closed hatch. The second image shows the hatch being opened slightly. The third imagine is the largest. It shows a wolf with a large shadow, snarling at the cracked hatch. "IF HE'D GOT / AS FAR AS THIS HOUSE, / HE'D HAVE MET A FULLY GROWN / WEREWOLF" ]

iii. Hélène Cixous, Love of the Wolf

[ "The lamb loves its wolf. The wolf turns all white and starts quivering out of love of the lamb. The lamb loves the wolf's fragility, and the wolf loves the frail one's force. The wolf is now the lamb's lamb and the lamb has tamed the wolf. Love blackens the lamb." ]

iv. @/thymoss

[ Messy sketch of the head of an animal with teeth surrounding the outside of it's face, pointing away from it. "I will / remove my teeth, for I / want to remain / kind despite / my anger" ]

v. Virginia Woolf, The Waves

[ "I press you to me. / Come, pain, feed on me. / Bury our fangs into my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob." ]

vi. Deborah Landau, Soft Targets

[ "We are animal hungry down to our delicate bones." ]

vii. Tory Adkisson, Anecdote of the Pig

[ "Do you still believe myths / can save you? Foolish creature. / Let me be clear: every version of the story / ends with you being slaughtered." ]
