(Not) A Musical Genius
Not a musical genius
Not a musical genius
I guess I lied
Not a musical genius
So now I'm confessing why
I wanted you to believe in it
But deep down I was petrified
Of not being a genius
That's why it was self-described
The phrase was fake
But it was too late to step on the brakes
The cake was baked, the name replaced
And they say that you cremate what you create
So I raised the stakes
Changing tastes and made mistakes
I player-hated a famous face
But in this case the hate's misplaced
I was overjoyed to be employed
I had the plan
I had the ploy
Avoid Freud
Avoid the void
The composer the poser
The man the boy
Now that's all over it's meaningless
Did you think I was serious?
I'm an unusual pianist
But not a musical genius
