Set A' Fire

Warning lights, evacuate. What’s left inside is all to take. Again, in time we will awake.
You were mine just yesterday but by design it all goes away.
You can’t hide when a gun is for hire. A worry of mine is to grow to be tired. To leave and let dry, while the soul is a fire, soul is a fire, soul is a fire.
If the heavens decide to separate, the story behind will complicate. The powers inside to fabricate. You were mine just yesterday but by design it all goes away.
You can’t hide when a gun is for hire. A worry of mine is to grow to be tired. To leave and let dry, while the soul is a fire, soul is a fire, soul is a fire.
Your soul is a fire

I found out through the faces. You sent me different places. But darling long after you’re gone, there will always be neon.
I came ‘round the other day. Soiled the skies so silver could stay.
The wine we drank wasn’t right. You went to sleep without a roof last night. Darling long after you're gone, there will always be Neon Neon.
Neon we can be absent through it all. Neon. Neon. We can be absent through the fall.
Light me up again. Place me upon your pyre. Light me up again. Hang me high above holy fire, with all of your desire. But darling long after your gone, there will always be Neon.
Neon. Neon we can be absent through it all. Neon. Neon. We can be absent through the fall. Neon. Neon we can be absent through it all. Neon. Neon. We can be absent through the fall.

Strip us down to atoms that are never shown. Turn it around to flesh and bone. Easy does it now, so vulnerable.
Only love can hold things beyond control. Heaven comes as it can go, this I know I know I know I know. The future is untold, we must learn to let it flow, won’t you lay with me and listen to me breathe.
One with society, prove your worth with a college degree.
We are passer bys, recycled through the end of time.Swimming through frequencies, plagued by a fucked-up currency.
Only love can hold things beyond control. Heaven comes as it can go, this I know I know I know. The future is untold, we must learn to let it flow, won’t you lay with me and listen to me breathe.

Vertigo

Coming from the shadows of our own lives. Don’t you fall behind. Wherever the wind will decide, find me under the same sky.
I know hollow. She falls out the window. I swim in the shallow while you float in vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo.
Coming from the comfort where we lie. Don’t leave me behind. Whenever the storm does decide. Find me under the same sky.
I know hollow. She falls out the window. I sink in the shallow while you float in vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo Vertigo.
Find me under the same sky. Find me under the same sky. Find me under the same sky.

Poems that I speak will never do a thing if you don’t learn what they mean or the odds that astrology could bring you to me.
Words we choose not to write. Still thoughts all sound alike. But I would never understand a world filled with my own demands so just take my hand.
I would fight. I would fight. I will fight for tonight.
She’s stubborn in her stride, doesn’t like wasting time. If I believe surely she’s the one to give me clarity, lets us wait and see.
There are rules we all must obey, but don’t give doubt its day. What if fame does come your way but you placed blame on both our names? Well who’s to say.
I would fight. I would fight. I will fight for….
It’s a dance with time to try and make you mine. We could hide in that evening light. Fortune will find those who truly try. At least we tried, tonight.

Lay down right here with me. Caprice we sing. Let down your hair. Your silk To breathe with every memory. Well it’s been so long for the words to say, “won’t you stay?” Won’t you stay until morning until morning untill morning It’s the first sign of change and I’m asking you babe, won’t you stay? I’ve been dreaming for days on end. Bird songs begin. Slowly I wake your eyes open at the touch of your skin. Well it’s been so long for the words to say, “ won’t you stay?Won’t you stay in the morning (into the day) in the morning ( darlin won’t you stay) in the morning. There’s gold on your face that the window let in the smile in your eyes hides a kingdom within sentiment skies blends with telluric ends now I know how to be bold again. In the morning (into the day) in the morning (darling won’t you stay) in the morning It’s the first sign of change and I’m asking you babe, won’t you stay?

Damn it this rage that pistol of pain. Found poets frown in all of my days. But you could come around tell me to walk your way.
Well I’ve been worrying that you’ll fall don’t you fall from me. Baby don’t you see. I’ve been worrying that you’ll find, there’s no magic in my sleeve.
I’ve been wondering if you mind, mind my memories. Baby don’t you see. I’ve been wondering if you really know I ain’t six feet and four.
I've been worrying. I've been worrying I've been worrying
Well I’ve been promising cuz’ there are kings for sale, beggars at your feet baby don’t you see.
I’ve been promising there is nothing to fear except the ordinary here.

Lost In You

I looked into your stable eyes and I lost my way. Gave our bodies to the night just to make our case. She said stand in line there’s a soul we could trade. I told that devil forever may not come, and I just can’t wait.
Tightening the crown that you made. Together forever we will remain. You say tomorrow’s too late, I say seize the day. Here we are at quarter age, and I let you choose my name. One way rail midnight train. White picket fence without a gate. Spend our days running from rain. How it’d feel to be a child again.
I looked into your stable eyes and I lost my way. Gave our bodies to the night just to prove our case. She said stand in line there’s a soul we could trade. I told that devil forever may not come, and I just can’t wait.
Bent down, broken and lame. Wherever there’s pleasure there will be pain. You say tomorrow’s too late, I say seize the day. There are ways we just don’t relate, and I now know my name.
Nurtured by shadow and shade, let the sun rise for a change. Spend your days running from rain, but I want to be a child again.

Brother, tell me you have felt this room. It’s made the shape of us and look what it’s done for you.
My child don’t mistake me for the truth. You say the worlds unkind and look what I’ve done to you.
Trouble, don’t you change that dress of red. It’s just the tone we knew, and damn it looked good on you.

Only You

You, you don’t know me any more. Lonely you, when you wake up on the floor. Only you only you.
You, you don’t show me anymore. Bitter you, from a life you lived before. Only you. Only you.
But I know you, you won’t say it to me now. I know you, you’re buried in the clouds, yet I found, only you.
Slow on down, when days speak to loud. If love wears a crown, I won’t look down.
Baby You, you don’t know me any more. Lovey you, as you lean against the door. Holy you. Holy you.
I know you. You won’t say it to me now. I know you, you’re buried in the clouds. Yet I found, only you
Slow on down when days speak to loud. Well If love wears a crown. I won’t back down.
Baby you.

Jacob Rountree Bozeman, montana
Contemplative yet playful, Jacob Rountree's lyric forward style is reflective of his love for philosophy, poetry and quantum
physics.
Rountree’s unique production style is that of Bob Dylan meets Pink Floyd, ranking the integrity of his music with contemporary artists such as Bon Iver, Ben Howard, and Shakey Graves.
“His performance can be described as ... a hug from a family member.” - GBR
