[edit] Misc
Tracks 7-10 taken from The Tear Garden EP.
The track 'The Centre Bullet' was the first Tear Garden song written, originally appearing as a Skinny Puppy track with a few vocals by cEvin himself on the Skinny Puppy Album entitled Bites. The song was later re-released, with vocals by Edward Ka-Spel, on The Tear Garden's self-titled EP, in its entirety, and on the CD edition of Tired Eyes Slowly Burning.
Etched into the vinyl edition was the phrase "AND EVEN THE VEGETABLES SCREAMED!", which is both the title of a song by The Legendary Pink Dots and a lyric used in their song Hotel Noir.
The album's title 'Tired Eyes Slowly Burning' was also used as a lyric in the Edward Ka-Spel solo song Hotel X (on his 1991 album Tanith and The Lion Tree).
