Notes:

  • The iTunes bonus tracks "Make Me Feel" and "Clear" are the same as "Someone or Something" and "I'll Find a Way", respectively. They seemingly retained their demo titles on iTunes for unknown reasons.
  • A fan-made compilation titled Demo Sessions includes three demo tracks from the album's recording sessions, "Make Me Feel" (with different lyrics), "About Them" and "Every Day". It also includes acoustic performances of "How Can I Live" and "This Time's for Real", recorded live at the AAF studios.
  • "Have You Ever Felt?" is featured in the game Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for the Xbox 360.
  • "When It Cuts" is featured in the PlayStation Portable game Infected.
  • "How Can I Live" is featured in the horror film Freddy vs. Jason and appears on the soundtrack.
