Afterlight 05:22
Afterlight ------------ When I was young I never knew All I wanted was delight I didn't know About good or evil Just how to play day and night Things in this world Strange to me Things in my mind I don’t believe Pieces of world Came to me Places in time Moved aimlessly Things in this world Strange to see Things in my mind I don't believe Seeing this world As nobody Stages and rhymes That I conceive Hear the whispers In the night Shadows on the wall Something in the darkness My back‘s against the wall I got older I didn’t change But I could see it was a game I searched far in foreign lands Like a moth to a flame Things in this world Strange to me Things in my mind I don’t believe Pieces of world Came to me Places in time Moved aimlessly Things in this world Strange to see Things in my mind I don't believe Seeing this world As nobody Stages and rhymes That I conceive Hear the whispers In the night Shadows on the wall Something in the darkness My back‘s against the wall Something moving Inside of me My heart is racing I've got to get free My skin is freezing In the moonlight glow Running through a forest Where do I go I came to a river She sat on the bank As I approached her Her expression was blank Ohhhh Oh Oh Ohhhh Oh Oh Ohhhh Oh Oh Ohhhh Oh Oh Hear the whispers In the night Shadows on the wall Something in the darkness My back‘s against the wall

City of Angels ------------------- I'm alone Still I'm doing fine There‘s a fire That‘s burning inside People lost Hands held out Spilt blood on these streets But I've got no doubts I feel alive In the night Basking in The neon lights I don't know why I love it here The City of Angels. Never sleeps Down at the beach I met a girl with a car Now we're catching some rays On Sunset Boulevard I've got no money I don't have a job But she don‘t mind We stopped at a coffee shop I feel alive In the night Basking in The neon lights I don't know why I love it here The City of Angels Never sleeps

Happy 03:55
Happy --------- Not well today But I'll get by When things drag me down I start to fly My feet leave the ground Call it what you will Lifted by a force Gets me up that hill You'll never understand Don't expect you to We all walk in Different shoes I found my place I feel it in my soul Not breaking down I'm in control Happy! Happy! Happy! I'm not feeling sad Not like those people That are feeling bad Happy! Happy! Happy! No tears today No dark clouds Just warm sun rays Made my way To the corner store Checked out a paper But that stuff‘s a bore I like the trees I like the sky Sometimes I want to Get so high Look at the world With a different view I know my thoughts They bother you Your self misery Won't infect my heart I'll close my door Until you fall apart Happy! Happy! Happy! I'm not feeling sad Not like those people That are feeling bad Happy! Happy! Happy! No tears today No dark clouds Just warm sun rays

Eternal Kiss 04:08
Eternal Kiss ----------------- Feeling the wind Lifting up the dust I'm standing in the rain Covered in rust I broke you down Shattered your will I sense your blood Move in to kill Nothing matters I'm feeling fine Within your eyes The stars align I fall down And accept your gift Your Eternal Kiss Your Eternal Kiss A century ago On the banks of the Nile I felt your breath I treasured your smile Your poison sank deep Into my soul Time it stood still My skin turned cold Am I awake I don't know Is this a test Your face aglow
5.
Things I Never Knew ---------------------------- Some may say I've lost my way I'm walking in a circle Night and day I know I'm a loner Don't have many friends But it doesn't matter When you reach the end Reach the end Reach the end Reach the end Looking out the window The sky so blue When you stop and look You'll see things you never knew Grass so green Feeling like a kite I walked a thin line But I'm doing alright Spent many years Looking for myself Couldn't find an answer It killed my health I tried my best But it was all pretend But it doesn't matter When you reach the end Reach the end Reach the end Reach the end
6.
Transcend 03:38
Transcend --------------- Voices in my head Am I falling apart Everything is red They say this is the start Will you be my friend Until the end Breaking through the barrier Will we transcend Stuck inside this shell I can't break free The world has turned black I can't see Stuck inside this shell I can't break free The world has turned black I can't see Will we transcend? Will we transcend? Will we transcend? Will we break free? Will we transcend? Will we transcend? Will we transcend? Will we break free? I made some time I don‘t care about facts Nothing is mine I just want to relax I crossed the line There's no going back The wall began to shatter I fell through the cracks
7.
I Can't See The End ---------------------------- Seeing For the first time Something I was missing You said Don't let it go Couldn't understand How you knew Trying to walk the line Its become so hard Trying to walk the edge It seems oh so far I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! Hearing The world at play I'm feeling weary Don't know what to say You said Come back in From high above The city looks thin Trying to walk the line Its become so hard Trying to walk the edge It seems oh so far I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I can't see the end! I tried my best Everything a mess Russian roulette I failed the test

The Sun Always Shines -------------------------------- I've got this feeling As I closed the door Maybe seen it in a dream I've been here before Ghosts they haunt me Illusions in the mind I've got to leave I'm running out of time But… Sometimes the rain it falls Sometimes we have to crawl It may get dark but we will see The sun it always shines I fell down a hole I was in a strange place Down a long dark hall I could see terror's face I put it to rest Scars on my wrists I was growing numb I was woken by a kiss But... Sometimes the rain it falls Sometimes we have to crawl It may get dark but we will see The sun it always shines Looking in the mirror I can’t see my face Sometimes my life’s a mess Some kind of test inside a maze Staring at the mirror I smile into the gaze I’ll get dressed up and Drive this sadness away But... Sometimes the rain it falls Sometimes we have to crawl It may get dark but we will see The sun it always shines
9.
We All Die Alone ----------------------- Some people think they live forever They're scared of getting old I'm not scared of the dark I don't mind if I have to go Life is fun sometimes it sucks It's hard to get a hold The universe is strange It has complete control But… We all die alone That's the fact We all die alone There's no coming back Some people are serious They never crack a smile They don't like what you say They become hostile I take it easy everyday I move slow not fast They like it when they win I always come in last But... We all die alone That's the fact We all die alone There's no coming back

Hourglass 12:19
Hourglass --------------- Dark is the sky Dead is the sun Deep inside I'm feeling so numb The world overturned Watch it burn Wisdom or fiction What have we learned The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Down in the mud I crawl like a dog Within my tomb Lost in the smog I know you're there On the other side I can feel your touch But I am denied The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Broken window pane Token picture frame This is nothing real I’m just a stain I’m going insane I’m calling your name There’s no you and me and I’m just a stain Standing in the rain I’m feeling so drained Help me to feel I’m just a stain I went away In a passenger train You’re hard as steel I’m just a stain Time grows thin Don't know this face I've lost my way Don't know what should take place I'm locked up Please take me home I tried to call please pick up your phone The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Madness in the heart Madness in the soul My flesh is burning But I feel so cold Everything is calm Yet I'm in a storm Breaking up inside I wish I was never born The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Giving and lying I shut off the light Taking and trying To do it all right Living and flying I think that I might Be shaking off the excess things Of this life The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Broken window pane Token picture frame This is nothing real I’m just a stain I’m going insane I’m calling your name There’s no you and me and I’m just a stain Standing in the rain I’m feeling so drained Help me to feel I’m just a stain I went away In a passenger train You’re hard as steel I’m just a stain Now I'm up above Standing over my shell Wake up please don't leave Don't wanna say farewell Yet I have to go As another takes my place Down to the basement Down the staircase The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate Broken window pane Token picture frame This is nothing real I’m just a stain I’m going insane I’m calling your name There’s no you and me and I’m just a stain Standing in the rain I’m feeling so drained Help me to feel I’m just a stain I went away In a passenger train You’re hard as steel I’m just a stain The midnight hour The time has come The hourglass empty See what we've done The drums are beating Beyond the gates The hourglass empty Decides my fate

about

Liz Davinci was born and raised in California and is currently based in Munich, Germany. Her evocative vocal style has been called "haunting and beautiful" and has been most often compared to Kate Bush. Liz's songwriting is an eclectic mix of her classical training and passion for folk and alternative music. Liz is classically trained on the piano and studied classical and experimental composition as well. She regularly experiments with video to enhance and strengthen ideas in her music, which has grown to form a large part of her artistic expression. Liz tries to preserve improvisation and intuition in her music.

The X-Friends has it's roots in 1970's Punk Rock. The music is stripped down and short so anyone can play along with or shut their ears. The world can be a cold place filled with lot's of eye candy, some of it good of course. If your a misfit like us and enjoy crappy music then come along for the ride. Here we are stoned immaculate.


After our collaboration with Liz on "Goodbye" we knew we needed to record some more songs with her. She's a very gifted musical artist but we didn't realize she was an amazing producer and mixer. We sent her demos of the ten tracks on this album and were blown away by what she did with them. We are three crappy punk musicians but she elevated us to another level. It was awesome to create these songs with her and we are very honored.

Thanks very much Liz. It was a blast.
Cheers and Beers. Rock On!!
