Porch Cat - Don't Want You To Go

Copied!

So I'll write another song about you
Think of all the things we could do
If we didn't throw it all away
Staring at computer screens
And bringing out my meanest means
This breaks my heart in every single way
I don't want you to go
I'm so scared of moving on
Scared you won't sing on my songs anymore
I should have let you know
That my feelings still are strong
I could do it all alone, but I'd miss my friend
Built up all these survival tips
And at one point they seemed to fit
But I'm watching all the ways they're hurting us
I'm shedding all my toxic skin
The shell that keeps the devil in
So baptize me down at locust beach
I don't want you to go
Scared you won't sing on my songs anymore
I should have let you know
That my feelings still are strong
I'm not ready to move on
Please hold my hand

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.
