Barely Holding On is the latest single from Welter. Taken from their highly acclaimed Album Catching Lightning, this song takes you on an audible cinematic journey into vast landscapes of towns and relationships lost.

Barely Holding On

Asbestos in the wind
Soft on everything
Skin of corrugated tin
Red dust settling
A holed out setting sun
The fading light, even steel looks broken
Barely holding on
And on
Barely holding on
Barely holding on

Out the edge of town
Scattered on the ground
Broken glass from halls abandoned
Feigning heart attack
Termites moving back
Great grandmother desert returns and wins
Barely holding on
And on
Barely holding on
Barely holding on

Her smile is faint and thin
Cold and promising
As the spring days lengthen out
To merciless summer sun
A furness before to long
You don’t believe so you leave it to the strong
Barely holding on
Barely holding on
Barely holding on
Barely holding on

Holding on
Barely holding on
Holding on
Barely holding on
Holding on
