Porch Cat - Dream Girl

Copied!

Straight boy thinks it’s kind of weird that you have pride
When you say you’re breaking up he acts like love has died
He can't be with someone he can’t change
And you can’t be with someone who won’t call you by your name

He likes your hair a little longer
He can’t stand you being stronger
Stab your own thigh, watch it bleed
Just get this boy away from me

I can’t be the girl of your dreams
I don’t even know what that means
Am I a man or am I a queen?

I keep dreaming we got married
Or we find each other after all these years
I keep dreaming all the bad things
The hiding and the fucking fears

Of being hated for being me
Of being hated for being me
Of being hated for being me
Of being hated for being me

I can’t be the girl of your dreams
I don’t even know what that means
Am I a man or am I a queen?

When you’re dreaming of me
I’m dreaming of a girl
She looks like heaven to me
She looks like the whole world

I can’t be the girl of your dreams
I don’t even know what that means
Am I a man or am I a queen?
I don’t even know what that means

I can’t be the girl of your dreams
I don’t even know what that means
Am I a man or am I a queen?
Am I a man or am I a queen?
I’ll be your man, yeah I’ll be your queen

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.
