? will you die for this? ? {words ?}

[niNOTES]

____________________ ___________________

Words of "Mommy" :

This is an interestin tune...tune down to DROP D for this one...

The outro at first sounds like it changes every other measure,

but if you listen really closely, it's all synth noise

that I couldn't hear well enough to TAB out...

Words of "Psylip" :

This song is full of "parasit" noises. That's why the chorus part

and the outro sound weird to me. Anyway all others sound good.

I'm not sure trent "sings" all the outro the way it is printed

And last "if there is a hell" could be ~ "it's that all I have".
