Dark Places
Dark Places
Dark Places
Dark Places
I ve come way too far for this
I ve put in too much work
I ve dealt too much hurt
I ve worked way to hard for this
But we live in dark places, dark places...
I ve come way too far for this
I ve put in too much work
I ve dealt with too much hurt
I worked way to hard for this
But we live in dark places, dark places...
[J-Dog:]
People say I m pissed off
Cause I like to shit talk
But people are fake
So wait till their jaws lock
Tick-a-ti-tick tock
The click of the wrist watch
Time is running out
On my way to the tip-top
So fuck it I can t stop
Been waiting for too long
Started my own plot
It s starting with this song
Damned if I m damn wrong
Who wants to fight a lion?
Motherfuckers who hate
Just wait for me to die trying
Like I m gonna stop now
Like I m gonna cop out
Show these motherfuckers
I ain t willing to drop out
So maybe i m pissed off
Because I feel ripped off
This industry is a bitch
And she ll rip your dick off
Famous and broke
And into a joke
But I ve come way too far
Not giving up hope
I ll keep breaking my back
And I ain t gonna choke
Show these faggots I m tough
That I keep climbing the rope

I ve dealt with too much hurt
I worked way to hard for this

[Johnny 3 Tears:]
When you come from nothing
You want a dove or something
So I started to run
And just kept on gunnning
Dark heart, dark thoughts
In a blacked out room
Macked out, Cadillacs
Click-clack, ka-boom
Sung you a song
The words went right through
And I can t haunt a house
If it haunts me too
So let s draw the line
And it s me and it s you
I do it all the time
And Johnny 3 don t lose
Can you write some checks that you can t cash?
So I m a little bitter, baby, keep on coming back
Yeah, there s just some things that I can t stand
A little trigger-happy, so come on, let s dance
Yeah, fuck your virtue
Your lie and your meaning
With the writing on the wall
But you just can t read it
Comes back around
Man, you better believe it
If you got a dark heart
I m gonna motherfucking bleed it
[Danny]
I ve come way too far for this
I ve put in too much work
I ve dealt too much hurt
I ve worked way to hard for this
But we live in dark places, dark places
I ve come way too far for this
I ve put in too much work
I ve dealt with too much hurt
I worked way to hard for this
But we live in dark places, dark places
[Charlie Scene]
Who s that walking up your block?
Pissed off with two Glocks
With a 40 in his fist
And a fifth of moon rocks
Got his sleeves cut off
With marijuana tube socks
Smoking pot in the drop-top
Bumping Kid Rock
I mma smoke another spliff
And chase it down with six shots
That guy s cockier than shit
Like a guy with six knocks
And I can t stop saying dick
Dick, dick and then cock
Hick-a-dickery-dick-a-dick-a-dickery-dock
So talk shit and get socked
Or kick rocks and get lost
Or get dropped and get topped
This hip-hop shit gets hot
This is not a pit stop
And I m not gonna stop
Until I m on the top
Like your mom on a cop
So when you see me in your hood
Yeah, you better think twice
Let me give you all a muy poquito piece of advice
If you push me any further
It s the end of your life
And I ll kill you like the sixteen bars
I killed on this mic
[Danny and DaKurlzz]
I ve come way too far for this

I worked way to hard for this
We live in dark places, dark places
I ve come way too far for this
I ve put in too much work
I ve dealt with too much hurt
I worked way to hard for this
We live in dark places, dark places
Dark places, dark places
I ve come way too far for this
Dark places, dark places
I ve worked way too far for this
Dark places, dark places
I ve come way too far for this
Dark places, dark places
I ve worked way too hard for this
But we live in dark places, dark places
Dark Places is a song from Hollywood Undead's fourth album, Day of the Dead. J-Dog spoke to Artist Direct about the track. "We wrote that at my house. I produced it. It's the same shit from the frustrations of what we used to have back in the day. We used to say and do whatever we wanted, but you get sidetracked when you have people who are down your ear constantly telling you, 'You're going to be rich' and 'You need bigger and more popular songs.' It goes to your head because you think that might happen. You have so many people in your ear steering you in the wrong direction. It's hard to not listen sometimes. When we were writing that song, it was like, 'Fuck you, I'm going to say whatever I want on this song. No one is going to get us to go anywhere but us.' Everyone took their own frustration they had and talked about it. On my voice, I'm referring to the music industry. Johnny and Charlie are talking about totally different things. You worked your fucking ass off, and it could be over any day. It's just over and done because some guy in a suit doesn't want to put your record out." Johnny 3 Tears also spoke to Artist Direct about the track. "I still listen to Eminem a lot. He was always ragging on the industry and his label. You go, 'Whatever that's about, it sounds good!' Now that I've experienced the industry itself and how clique-y everything can be, we wanted to convey our frustrations. That's my take on it anyway." The meaning of each verse was revealed in the interview. J-Dog wrote his verse about the music industry. Johnny 3 Tears wrote his verse about their former label, A&M/Octone. The reason Charlie Scene wrote his verse was left undisclosed in the interview for unknown reasons.
