Porch Cat - Safer Spaces

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I remember things I don't need
And I forget the most important things
So when you're asking for proof from me
Remember that I wasn't really there

{Chorus}
I'm too scared to say I might break
Go ahead and tell me these spaces are safe

{Verse 2}
Emma carried her mattress across her campus
She was brave enough to hold it up in protest
And I can't even go back to classes
Even though nothing happened on those red bricks

{Chorus}
And I'm too scared to say I might break
Go and ahead and tell me these spaces are safe

{Bridge}
And I'm too scared to take back the night
I'm too scared stand up and fight

{Verse 3}
I know it's hard to see it go by laying in your bed
I know there's something in your mind that would rather see you dead
I'm sorry I'm not doing much more than just tryin' to survive
But if I can make it through this, maybe someone else will try to stay alive

edit bio

Porch Cat is a dream-pop, punk-based band from Bellingham, Washington. Most of the information regarding the band is on their Facebook page, and their Bandcamp. The band is led by Chan Barraza Benicki, a nonbinary lesbian who struggles with several medical conditions. Chan details the purpose and information on the band on their Facebook page, under their about, titled “Our Story”.

Porch Cat is:
Porch Cat is the musical project of singer-songwriter, Chan Barraza. Through uptempo punk songs, sludgy ballads, and pop hooks, Porch Cat writes about queer identity, pain and chronic illness, abuse and assault, colonization and racism – ultimately returning to themes of love and empowerment.
As a queer, nonbinary, disabled and chronically ill Latina, Porch Cat strives to push the boundaries of representation in music, as well as fight for feminism, queer rights, disability rights, and against racism.
Porch Cat originally began as an acoustic singer-songwriter project by Chan Barraza in 2011 in Bellingham, WA. Benicki began to learn guitar at age 12, and soon combined their love for writing poetry and singing into writing original songs. Throughout their life, Barraza explored theatre, photography, and visual arts, but it wasn’t until they were in college that they played music as part of a band. Since then, Porch Cat has transformed from an acoustic, folk sound, to an electric band influenced by Barraza’s love of punk, indie, and alternative rock. Barraza lives with chronic illness, including Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Narcolepsy with Cataplexy, PTSD, and PMDD.
