  2. Garden in the Machine - demo

    Garden in the Machine a track from ROADRUNNER Garden in the Machine is the moment after arrival, when motion slows and awareness takes over. It was written from the feeling of stepping through a threshold without knowing what comes next, only knowing that you are no longer where you were. This…

  3. Round About - demo

    Round About a track from ROADRUNNER Round About is the moment the loop finally breaks. It is written from the other side of repetition, where running in circles gives way to forward motion that actually holds. This song exists at the end of the journey, after the self confrontation of Roadrunner,...

  4. ROADRAGE - demo

    ROADRAGE a track from ROADRUNNER Roadrage is the explosion that begins the pilgrimage. It is the moment the match hits the oxygen and the story finally combusts. This song kicks open the door after the intro, dragging the listener straight into the firestorm of everything the protagonist has been...

  5. ROADKILL - demo

    Roadkill a track from ROADRUNNER I wrote Roadkill from the place where the past and present collide so hard that you can feel the bruise forming under your skin. This song is the reckoning you try to avoid until it corners you. It comes from that moment when the mask cracks, when the exhaustion...

  6. ROADRUNNER - demo

    ROADRUNNER the title track from ROADRUNNER I wrote ROADRUNNER for the moment when the whole chase finally collapses. It is that brutal, clarifying realization that the thing you have been sprinting from — the fear, the ache, the version of you you did not want to meet — has been running inside…

    more
  7. mile marker - demo

    mile marker a midpoint from ROADRUNNER I wrote mile marker for that exact instant when exhaustion turns emotional... when the run stops feeling heroic and starts feeling like a slow unraveling. It’s the midpoint of the journey, the place where you’ve been sprinting for miles and nothing looks...

  8. intro... used 2ba stoner - demo

    Used 2ba Stoner an introduction to ROADRUNNER I wrote Used 2ba Stoner as the doorway into the world of ROADRUNNER , as the moment where the narrator steps out of the haze, looks straight at the listener, and admits that the road ahead is going to hurt. The thesis is simple: healing’s not a high....

  9. 5 of Swords - demo

    I wrote 5 of Swords right after a 36-hour crash out. It's the kind of collapse where time stops behaving and everything feels stretched thin and heavy. This was the first song written for the project, born in that raw, blurry place where exhaustion turns existential and every step forward somehow...

  10. Lost Profit - demo

    Lost Profit a track from ROADRUNNER I wrote Lost Profit during a time when faith and identity were tangled together so tightly I couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began. It’s about growing up being told your light was wrong, holy for the wrong reasons, or meant to serve someone else’s...

  11. im not yet healed - demo

    im not yet healed… a track from ROADRUNNER I wrote im not yet healed… on a night when survival felt like motion. It’s about the way we circle our pain, trying to outrun it with noise, neon, liquor, anything that keeps the silence at bay. It’s the part of the journey where you know you’re not…

    more
  12. when you let me breathe - demo

    when you let me breathe a track from ROADRUNNER I wrote when you let me breathe in the middle of a reclamation. It’s about the exact second you realize someone never had the power they made you fear, that you were holding your breath because you were conditioned to, not because the air was gone.…

    more
  13. io.IWE - demo

    io.IWE (If Only It Were Easy) a track from ROADRUNNER I made io.iwe in the moment where everything finally buckled. The point where you’ve tried every fix, every reset, every path forward, and nothing responds anymore. It’s the sound of emotional code crashing, a human operating system hitting…

    more
  14. SPF (stupid problematic fckr) - demo

    SPF (Stupid Problematic Fckr) The 2nd Offering of Roadrunner. SPF is about the heat of self-deception. The ways we block our own light while trying to protect ourselves from getting burned again. It started as a fuck-you song and turned into a confession about projection, shame, and the masks we...

  15. bleached - demo

    bleached the first offering from ROADRUNNER I wrote bleached in the middle of a long identity unraveling. It’s about the impulse to start over, to burn down who you were, change your hair, change your name, and hope the mirror finally recognizes you back. It’s about body dysmorphia, but also…

    more
  16. the end is NEAR!!!

    Wrote this one when everything felt like it was falling apart—online, in the world, in myself. It’s kind of me trying to smile through the panic, like… if I joke about the apocalypse, maybe it won’t hurt as much. It’s about feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and praying for something to change. This one...

  17. PS... im outta here (first take demo)

    This song is an anthem of frustration, liberation, and self-reclamation. This track delves deep into the raw emotions of feeling unseen, the pain of rejection, and the power of letting go.

  18. Holding out for hope (demo)

    A song for anyone holding on by a thread. ‘Holding Out For Hope’ is about finding strength in the darkest moments and trusting that your future self will carry you through. Let this be your reminder: you are strong enough. 🌙✨

  19. Nostalgia (demo)

    A song about the war of being exactly here - letting go of what came before, and embracing the future. It's a final send off to an updated version of the self.

  20. im so tired (demo)

    On 'im so tired': a raw, introspective track that explores the exhaustion of constantly questioning one’s purpose and timing in life. With honest lyrics about feeling lost, frustrated, and on the edge of breaking, this song delves into the struggle of overcoming self-doubt and the longing for a...

  21. LAST GOODBYE (demo)

    This song was written with my best friend, whose vocal is featured buried in the chorus, about the finality of leaving someone. It's about ending a relationship. It's a somber affair but in declaring a goodbye, you say you're ready to move on. You've examined all there is to examine about what…

    This song was written from a place of desperation when I needed to hear. I needed the universe to speak to me. I needed to be moved. I needed a sign. So this song is for anyone who needs to hear something - to see a sign - for that next step in their life.

  24. Beulahland: A Dirge (demo)

    Dedicated to my grandma, Diane. She passed on in May of this year. This is a cover / reinterpretation of one of her favorite gospel songs. She was always someone who invested in my dream and believed in me. She is missed everyday. I hope you enjoy my take on this.

  29. but wait! (demo 1) prod dan darmawan

    For Morgan Skylar Dean - gone too soon. On Friday, October 27th, 2023, I lost someone new and dear to my heart. I can't wrap my head around it. It's been hard to comprehend that this person, that I was in the room when she was born, is now gone. It's hard. Grief is hard. I love you forever…

    This song was inspired by queer romance and relationships.
