Notes

• Burn has two hidden tracks on the CD release. The first is a cover of The Doors, "Strange Days" which is found by rewinding the CD to -4:20 on a CD player (this may not work on software media players). The second is a reprise of the song "Inside" found at 8:43 on the final track.
• The title track was part of the soundtrack of the 1995 film adaptation of Mortal Kombat.
• The track "Better Than Me" was part of the 1996 film Scream, and also in the soundtrack.
