Porch Cat - Magic

Copied!

We took our fears from their boxes
Planted them a grave
I howled all night with the foxes
In those moments I was saved

I don’t know where the friends have gone
And I’m not sure how I’m feeling
And the moon is shining like the sun
And my face is too revealing

{Chorus}
(And) I wish there was magic in the way
I move from town to town
I’d cast a spell on your broken heart
But I’m better left unfound
I’m better left unfound

The planets have aligned here
In the palms of my hands
And my eyesight is a bit unclear
I see it all in strands

I’m too lonely for a sacrifice
I heard my body say
When the ocean all turns to ice
Maybe then I’ll stay

{Chorus x2}

I’m better left unfound

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.
