I Moved On 03:15
I know you from A-Z but this is something new to me where'd you pick up the audacity how could you stoop so low I'm tryin to figure out how you could tell me you love me then mess around my back so easily I can't find it so for all that you've said and done We're through I'll find another You can do whatever you want Jump off a bridge Try to stop a bullet train I'm not cryin over you now No, I moved on I thought that we shared somethin beautiful Yet all along my friends said it doubtful I'm tryin to figure out how you could tell me you love me then mess around my back so easily now I'm blinded So for all that you've said and done It's gone no longer new she saw that through what is the end of us I hope is the end of you

Schitzo 04:02
I'm goin schizo goin schizo now I'm goin schizo goin schizo I know somewhere in this globe there's a small child's glow brighter than a rainbow I also know I got that same glow when you're around around I can tell that you and me we're gonna be a little more than friends so lets just pretend there's something so unique between you and me it's so different it could never end Tell me why do I get scared of myself with you? I gotta let it go I just wanna be okay with myself with you I gotta play it cool I'm goin schizo Goin schizo now Sometimes I think about the future livin in the past when I'm caught up in the present That's when you come along guiding me straight and strong I want you here with me Yeah Some days it's just so hard for me to be I have ups and downs yet you stick around So human with my insecurities yet you stick around What was lost is found It's a bad practice to love someone who's not allowed to love you although I know you do Such a painful game but we play it anyway not knowing why until we cry

Detonator 04:10
I've never had this problem before It's like I feel I can always do better or maybe now I truly care I wanna make you something more than floored I guess it's cuz I'm a go getter or maybe cuz you're standin right there Even for all the money in the world or whatever it is people want I'd still rather be with you Oh Oh Oh We didn't know this way it would unfurl it's like inside of my heart there was a bomb it went off when I first met you I could take the stars, the sun, the moon in the sky it would not compare to the spark that you are hey boy you're my detonator Even if you think I'm carrying on watch darlin' I'ma prove you wrong i know its hard but you gotta stay strong I might be your detonator These words these thoughts there just not good enough I'm so messed up from your soft touch Countdown to the end of times that I've always known Stop drop cover then roll it's my time to go You dismember me I don't know which way is up your light is blinding still I don't give a flyin @#!% I've learned to love the bomb I won't fight it anymore you set me off ring the alarm I'm ready for war

Dragons 03:19
woke up for the day to chaos, dismay, hazed man i didn't know we'd be terrorized by dragon fire spray so freedom's gone away now its cold monotony damn there's no say left in the town its up to me to slay shit take a step back lemme do this on my own I may be just a kid but I'm almost full grown I just wanna play don't wanna be restrained nothing but the music can take the pain away I'm up Im down these past four years I've been underground tryin to find my way around this town gotta do it quick cuz im bleedin out Dragons I finally found what I'm about it ain't up to you to change Dragons It's funny how you think I care now but I ain't gonna change my ways Dragons stepped out to the store (swords) knives guns galore (War) on my way, in the rain a dragon came before (roar) me, then he said take that beanie of your head ummmm change your style take off those shorts keep mediocrity fed this society is not who we wanna be too mainstream said the hipster hey mister okay to differ bohemian grunge and the a lister people try hard to be original its continual they make it typical to not be who theyre not here in the digital age find your place and don't be ashamed finally letting go take you to this place in my heart won't find another I don't want you thinkin I'm someone else I want you to see me for me don't let it get you

Scottie 04:01
I can't breathe at this moment I am sinking down I look around I'm thrashing I'm lashing out tiring myself wow what have you done to me? I bet you were a good kid growin up now that you're here maybe not as much you don't do that to your girlfriend your girlfriend not that to your girlfriend tell me Scottie Scottie don't you go Scottie don't you go Scottie don't you go There's no denying that you're playing with me got me thinking that I'm all that you need and she's not supposed to know I can see her finding out I remember in december maybe the first of september we locked eyes minds entwined only yesterday we were okay Yeah As I recall your heart hurts and mine hurts too I didn't know that lovin me would be the thing that hurts you but we took vows underneath the bleachers my prom queen and them Vans sneakers and my letterman with hair long soft lips and you Nia Long who woulda known that lovin you would be this hard your heart beats hard I can feel that I used to feel that Now you're out tryina find where the real at? and it ain't hard to tell that you used to dream of fairytales but now you know that very well that love don't last and dreams they fail to live up to their expectation crazy was our situation crazy was our passion huh? every night was passionate but maybe you better without me maybe you doubt you that's why you doubt me hollerin screamin you nothin without me better you left me right where you found me true cuz I'm not perfect and I know that you ain't perfect maybe you better off by yourself somewhere in the city chasing your dreams I'm chasing my dreams Scottie Scottie why'd you go? Scottie why'd you go? Scottie why'd you go? Sometimes I think that people they have like they time

The 21st 03:27
Daydreams rivers and waterslides and stuff you called me but I called your bluff You said it was wrong why does it feel so right? I'm lovin this feeling you give me I feel gone even when I don't leave If this is a way out then I'm in will you take me away? I wish you'd try it too it's something you would like I bet you fall just in love like the 21st Searchin for you my dreams of space n time wherever you are feels sublime I know it ain't wrong its just a different side these days go like you came and left me you're so fine I know we'll meet in time if this isn't goodbye don't save me will you take me away? I let you control my one-sided road you made me believe you were all I needed no heavens on earth just cities of rapture take me there like the 21st

about

‘Retrospective 12” is an alternative, soulful album that is set to release online September 03 2013. The first single, “I Moved On” was released on July 30 to praise from music blogs worldwide and has been called “absolutely brilliant pop” by Crack in the Road. “I Moved On” is receiving local radio play on major radio stations in San Diego, CA.

Crack in the Road states that “Alicia Eris is a name to keep an eye out for”. The young artist is no stranger to the music industry. She began her recording career at the age of 10 as the founding member of pop sensation, Pink Army. There, she worked with multi-platinum producers and songwriters and was offered a recording contract with a major label at the age of 13. By 14, Alicia decided to pursue a solo project that would allow her to explore genres outside of the
mainstream pop world. She then joined the nationwide collective, Classfaction, featuring several artists of different genres coming together as one unit. “Retrospective 12” ventures into the Neo Soul genre and reflects her influences:

Amy Winehouse and The Internet.

Her video will be released this month and features Syd tha Kid from The Internet (part of the Odd Future Collective).

“Retrospective 12” tells the story of Alicia Eris and her year 2012. Other singles on the EP include the hip hop inspired “Scottie”, the soulful ballad “The 21st, and upbeat quick-witted Schitzo. Alicia is also set to appear on an upcoming NBC reality show, “Child Star” where cameras will follow her on her quest for success. She will also perform her debut single live on the show. Alicia is currently planning a national tour with Classfaction.
