the album's cover painting was done by paul romano, who also created the cover of we came as romans' debut full-length album, "to plant a seed" and features the same faceless boy from before. guitarist/lyricist joshua moore and bassist andrew glass worked together to come up with the visual concept for the cover and then collaborated with romano to bring the powerful imagery to life. moore explains that the idea for the piece was developed long before the album was even completed stating, "we knew going into everything what the direction of the cd was going to be, the whole concept behind it and how we wanted to be portrayed as a band."
