# "Misplaced" – 4:42
# "Blinded No More" – 5:33
# "Ain't Your Fairytale" – 5:26
# "Reckoning Day, Reckoning Night..." (instrumental) – 3:21
# "Don't Say A Word" – 5:49
# "The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Real Puppet" – 4:44
# "My Selene" – 5:28

# "Shamandalie" – 4:04
# "Wrecking the Sphere" – 7:02 (Japanese & Korean edition bonus track)
# "Jam" – 2:51 (hidden track)

The hidden track "Jam" is on all albums, but is often mistaken for the Japanese/Korean-only bonus track "Wrecking the Sphere". "Jam" is an acoustic jam session (as the name implies) and is significantly shorter than "Wrecking the Sphere", which is a typical song.
