Written in the months following a trip to Peachtree City — my daughter and I put this together. The bass solo is one of the licks from earlier in the song; I had to re-learn it after writing it. Re-recorded sections that were initially patched up the first time through.

Written at Peachtree City during three weeks of work training. Inspired by WhistlinDiesel videos. Came together naturally — one of those sessions where it just works.

Originally written in E at Peachtree City, then rewritten in B after coming home. It sounded heavier. Naturally, I made it as heavy as possible.

Written during the final stages of mixing and mastering. New strings on the Les Paul, first thing I wrote with them. Wanted something more neutral — calming tones rather than the heavier direction of the rest of the album.

Next to last song written on the album — a variation of the ending of "The Veil of Perception." Liked what it became but it didn't fit the original song, so it became its own track.

Started as experimentation with drum machines and synths. Liked the sound, committed to it. The main riff runs in alternating 6/4 and 7/4 patterns.

Written between 2012 and 2023 — the melody existed in 2012 but had no home for a decade. Fleshed out further in May 2022, bulk of the writing finished November 2022. About perspective: how we've collectively lost the ability to see things as they are.
