Porch Cat - Nothing

Copied!

Maybe I’m a girl when I’m holding you
I could be your man if you want me to
Vulnerable and stubborn
I want to be nothing

When my mother hides her tears is she strong?
Hold on to my conscience when I feel wrong
Holding my breath
I want to be nothing

Would I be your girl if I trusted you
If I start from dirt could I become new
Vulnerable and stubborn
I want to be nothing

Maybe be your boy if you tell the truth
Bury me tonight, under the full moon
Holding my breath
I want to be nothing

I’ll tie my heart to the fence he built
Bleed in the garden
I’ll lay in the dirt to regrow myself
Bleeding the garden
I’ll tie my heart to the fence he built
Bleed in the garden
I’ll lay in the dirt to regrow myself

In the garden I will learn to grow
In the garden I will learn to grow
In the garden I will learn to grow

In the garden I will learn to grow
In the garden I will learn to grow
In the garden I will learn to grow

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.
