Porch Cat - Dishes

Copied!

I’ll do the dishes
All by myself
I’ll clean the house
Without anyone’s help

I’ll do the dishes
All on my own
I’ll make this place
Feel like home

I feel hopeless
Feel like a mess
Don’t let anybody do it for me
I know what’s best

I want to let go
And feel free
I know I’d miss you
Will you miss me

It’s not enough
To want to be
Not alone
More than me

It’s something bigger
We’ll grow to learn
Maybe someday
My heart you’ll earn

Yeah I’m a dirtbag
I’m a piece of shit
I’m a jerk sometimes
And I’m not proud of it

I’ll gеt tired
Of all this self hating talk
I’ll do bettеr
I’ll go take a walk

I feel fucked up
I feel fine
It’s time for me to figure out
Which feelings are mine

I’ll do better
I’ll try real hard
But it won’t matter
If I don’t promise my heart

It’s not enough
To want to be
Not alone
More than me

I want to love you
I want to cry
I feel so lonely
I want to die

I’ll do the dishes
All by myself
I’ll clean the house
Without anyone’s help

I’ll do the dishes
All on my own
I’ll make this body
Feel like home

Biography

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.
