by Just Fern

Steven, A.D. for some people, fandom was a creative crutch, and taking that away meant taking away the only thing that gave them any character (i feel guilty of this myself sometimes). but not fern. it's clear it was only holding her back.

fern has consistently demonstrated an ability to fearlessly write her mind, and that's been inspiring to me in my own projects for years at this point. i'm always excited to hear what she's gonna do next, and this album doesn't disappoint. Favorite track: Queen Unicorn Reject.

Un-Screw Me 03:48
Oh my god You know what I lost Some nights I scream Rude tweets & day dreams You should know that it’s not my fault—It’s not our fault That all hope was lost Oh my god This country drills yr head with lotsa strange pegs & I think its up to u to unscrew them & as you do yr gonna learn how 2 beg Say yr goodbyes before our efforts go south And make yr vows and re and re and renew them Somebody wants to stick yr head in their mouth look right thru me please unscrew me pat my head & hold me gently i’m not a demon please dont kill me all these nightmares arent too thrilling Find a new family for that hole in yr chest (& also so yr buried as the right gender) This world’ll beat u & won’t give u no rest I wanna eat u from the palm of your hand I wanna learn the deepest meaning of “tender” This world’ll beat u cuz it will and it can This world’ll beat u— OH this world will beat u

You found me painting on the ground I guess I like the way dirt moves You sat and watched me fuck around Maybe loves not that thing I knew I drool at such perverted fantasies Just like that dog you never tamed And though I’m cursed with dreams I can’t police I’ve been re-marked & re-re-named Can u really love yourself forever? If not, become someone new My heart’s been painted on my sleeve, I’m weary Yr all I have, this is all I can do Can u really love yourself…ever? Or love the person that they groomed? My brain’s been painted on the ground You’ll find me painted on the ground (thats nothing new)

Okay I’ll go Or maybe—I don’t know I wrote a song about you But I was still so angry And I don’t need to punch down to pull through I stay away from danger My body’s like a stranger to me To you I’m just a concept Queen unicorn reject redeemed Hey where did you go? Do you know what you owe us? What did you dare to unlist? And we looked up to you! Didn’t know what to do De-ponified your page Why don’t you go get back in your page Did you almost have it? Do you think you’re tragic? Everybody looks for their place in their life I don’t know a lot but I know wrong from right

Den Mother 04:45
God might be watching so be your best & if they’re not then we sure can’t rest I’m drinking right from the tap Even though it’s bad Real superstars—they do it together No matter where you are—you can do it together Fight for the changes & fight through the weather You be my pup & I’ll be your den mother Remember our fall out? Time sure flies I wrote you a callout but then thought twice I’m listening to birds at night With all of their might They still sing without light We might be nothing, but I think we’re something

It Never... 02:09
Ah. It never goes away.

Rules 04:13
There’s somethin’ wrong with me There’s got to be a reason All my chips are down And when I see defeat I blame my luck on seasons Sink my head & drown ‘nother day another empty promise People talk to me but do they wanna I save my kisses for you Hide behind the door & then I make a move I feel so isolated Doesn’t mean I hate it I just mean its cruel Whispers in the suburbs from the neighbors They will hide our voices & our labor With all their rules I cry in corners Hoping that someone will find me But they never do And if they did I dont know What i’d even say I’d prob’ly play it cool i survived the sinking then the suction how will i survive my own destruction With all their rules

Wikihow 03:30
I was not a carpenter On Wikihow I learned my trade I’ll build one drawer (I’ll build ten more) until the perfect one’s been made And under the floor scaled to human size I’ll muffle the creaks and muffle the cries He barged into my life one night While cracking jokes as folks went home A drink I’d pour, he’d drink four more I was desperate, I was alone And now we go home as he rests his eyes Won’t know where we’re going or learn upon rise And I’ll keep him warm and I’ll keep him dry and I’ll keep him safe in the drawer where he lies I’m not sure I want this dog I set my standards too far down I’ll search for whores (I’ll find one more) And then I’ll store him in the ground

Noneremains 03:23
a coroner, a letter a corona & a flame they sent it to my old house but didn’t send it to my name saw yr picture up on facebook i saw yr bony frame and when i looked for love to give u none remained, none remained at the edge of whats been passing home of the widow quote “insane” i’ll be waiting for yr lashings but none remain, none remain ‘cause u live inside of me i hear yr voice it always speaks yes u live inside of me i know i’m weak i know i’m weak now my skins become a travelogue scars the voyage i must own lessons learned & debts amassacred torturous periods alone bumps and bruises on my forehead something angry in my brain dont know what u saw inside it but none remains, none remains ‘cause u live inside of me (col & coll)ored all my dreams yes u live inside of me i know i’ll never not be freaky yes u live inside of me i’m yr harvest never reaped yes u live inside of me i could kill u i’ve got methods i’ve got means

...Goes Away 04:34
Oh no. It never goes away. Wake up yr pretty little head You know that yr never better dead So here’s me devoid of what to say It gets better, but it never goes away! The summer is passing us right by Yr weary and justly I surmise But clearly u wake up every day It gets better, but it never goes away! Oh ah! It never goes away!

Well west coast girls really knock me out When I see their pretty bodies I just scream and shout God Why Did You Trap Me In This Cage I can bend the bars but I sure won't act my age
 I wanna dig a holy hole just to prove I can I wanna shiver on the beach and stop hating the sand Be the kinda girl my love objectifies Even every good week has a day that i cry cry cry And the things you're diagnosed with as a kid won't go away even if you ignore them i spent a stony summer with a sociopath and yea she took all my spoons but she made me laugh sometimes i still flinch but i think i'm safe I think i gotta house but i dont think i gotta place And the feelings that you've had since you're'a kid wont go away not until you explore them Oh why Do I keep trying Oh why Do I keep tying myself to these trees? You kept the best parts of me And that abuser that you had as a kid will pass away and then god will abhor them
