Porch Cat - The Aftermath

Copied!

Garden's been turning gray
And i'm constantly afraid
I don't know where i've been
It's planted in me like a sin

The aftermath is a lot like lying
Keep yourself together when you feel like dying

But i can't
Not in the aftermath

You're bringing flowers to a funeral
You planned yourself but you don't plan to go
You gutted me like you caught a fish
Still that's something i wish

If i could remove the parts you touched
You're right to say that i wouldn't be much
Oh i'm glad that i rarely saw your face
Every time you put me in my place

The aftermath is a lot like lying
Keep yourself together when you feel like dying
The aftermath is a lot like screaming
You toss and turn pretending that your dreaming

But i can't
Not in the aftermath

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.
