Porch Cat - Nothing Is Sacred

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Look around at what is needed
Put aside your anger and give space
Our spirits feel defeated
So we burn our thyme and sage

{Chorus}
Bring us healing, bring us peace
Understand the words we hear
We ask for pain to be released
For the smoke to finally clear

{Verse 2}
Ask your neighbors, ask your friends
Don't act like this is how it ends
Put up your fists in their defense
Because this can't be how it ends

{Chorus}
Bring us healing, bring us peace
Understand the words we hear
We ask for pain to be released
For the smoke to finally clear

{Verse 3}
Nothing is sacred and nothing is safe
Among the people who live in this place
But everything is sacred that's sacred to you
Hold on to what you need to get through
I promise that I believe in you
I promise that I will honor you too

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.
