The Excess

VERSE 1
Running water
Standing wave
I’m looking at what must be your pet hurricane
Got you so spun
No break from the rain
Her roof held off your floor by just a trembling windowpane
Maybe that ringing in your ears
Is just her bell around your neck
And with a smoke ring on her finger
She goes and signals for the check
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

VERSE 2
Her double take
And single give
She’s out of pocket
Running numbers—not my business
But I can see how broke you’re going
Every time I visit
This life of yours passing just-just as fast as she can live it
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

BRIDGE
You can’t save your youth
For later, so
Take all you that you can carry and
Time is on nobody’s side

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

OUTRO CHORUS
It’s not too late
Til you say it is
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this
I’ll be your yes among no’s
It’s not too late,
Til you say it is
I’ll be your yes among no’s
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this

Fade Away
Artist: Broken Compass
Written & Produced by: Steve Foley

[Verse 1] 
Whispers in the dark, they know my name 
Flickers of a spark, then gone again 
I tried to hold the moment still 
But time’s a ghost, it bends at will 

[Pre-Chorus] 
Hands shake, hearts break, I thought you'd stay But even shadows slip away 

[Chorus] 
Nothing is forever, not even the pain 
We build up empires, then dance in the rain 
You're not mine, I’m not yours, just passing through 
Like smoke in the mirror — we fade into truth 

[Verse 2] 
You drew a line in the pouring sky 
Said love don’t live, it just stops by 
I felt your warmth, then watched it die 
Even echoes learn to lie

[Pre-Chorus] 
Lips move, but the words decay You were here, then walked away 

[Chorus] 
Nothing is forever, not even the flame 
We chase the feeling, forget the name 
You're not mine, I’m not yours, just passing through 
Like smoke in the mirror — we fade into truth 

[Bridge] 
So tell me what’s the point of forever 
If forever always ends? 
We write our names in ash and embers 
Just to watch the wind pretend 

[Final Chorus] 
Nothing is forever, not even the blame 
We burn the pictures, forget the frame 
You're not mine, I’m not yours, just passing through 
Like smoke in the mirror — we fade into truth

KINETIC ENERGY

A 4-Track EP

People ask me all the time how I still have the energy to keep moving on the dance floor.

How I don’t get tired.

How I keep going when everyone else slows down.

My answer is simple: Kinetic Energy.

This EP was created over several weeks of trial, error, experimentation, and passion. It wasn’t easy but it was necessary. KINETIC ENERGY is about energy in motion: the force that moves through the body, the heartbeat behind the rhythm, and the music that keeps me alive.

Music isn’t just something I listen to.

It’s in my blood. It’s in my veins. It’s part of my bloodline.

As a cancer survivor, this isn’t metaphor  it’s truth. During some of the hardest moments of my life, music brought me back to life. No matter the genre  EDM, rock, metal, disco, hip-hop, country, or anything in between  music became my strength, my escape, and my survival.

Each track on KINETIC ENERGY represents a different form of movement and energy, physical, chemical, emotional, and rhythmic. Together, they tell one complete story.

01. Circulate

The flow begins. The pulse of life, blood, and rhythm moving through the body. This track represents circulation the way music moves through me like oxygen, keeping my heart beating and my energy alive.

02. Dopamine

The rush. The natural high. The chemical release that music gives us when the beat hits just right. This track captures that feeling of euphoria, emotion, and release on the dance floor.

03. Radiate

The energy we give and receive. The love, connection, and light that spreads through music and people. This track is about sharing that energy  letting it glow outward and inspire others.

04. Activate the Rhythm

The finale. The ignition. This track is everything I love about music in one place. Heavy bass, dubstep, rock, metal, disco, EDM, and high-energy sound design collide. It’s chaotic, fun, loud, and intentional  because music doesn’t live in one box, and neither do I.

This track represents engagement, activation, and movement the rhythm that never stops, the sound zone where everything comes alive.

KINETIC ENERGY is about movement, survival, and the power of sound to keep us alive. It’s about dancing through pain, joy, struggle, and healing. It’s about rhythm in motion  energy that doesn’t fade, but transforms.

Take a listen to all four tracks and feel it for yourself.

This is KINETIC ENERGY  and I hope it brings you to life the way music continues to bring me back every single day.
