I have learned a thousand games
To play tricks on your mind
I have stole a thousand moments
To interrupt and be unkind
I am composed and calculated
And that's all you'll ever find
I learned my selfish ways
With my powerful genius mind

I am a model student
I study hard each day
I learn with awesome skill
On how to push you people away
I don't drink to human goodness
Don't get on my knees to pray
Instead I have a fond remembrance
Of serving contempt on a silver tray

Pain is not my friend
And I guess that you aren't either
So you can take your hurtful way
And try them on another
Instead, I will stand right here
With all my brains and strength
And repel you stupid creatures
From the love that makes you weak

Because I am the genius
I have taught and know it all
I learn with God-like speed
And don't forget a single fall
My brain is quick, my body strong
I've worked hard, won't see my flaws
My genius-ness is flowing fast
I stand up, I stand proud, I stand tall

I am guaranteed awards and praise
For my toil, hardwork, and care
So I could learn the greatest things
About revenge, getting back, and what's fair
These are the things that will get you far
Get you power, respect, esteem
Sit back and let recognition flow
It's better then your pathetic dreams

I won an impressive scholarship
To understand more about human pain
Found those who are the brightest
Will avoid the cause of shame
They will shy away from sorrow
They will turn away from light
They will embrace what comes tomorrow
Instead of today and what's in sight

I studied hard and now I know
The burn of your rejection
For I am the master student
The genius of wrong affection
Never will I be caught again
With weakness as my affliction
The world won't get another chance
To witness my imperfection

I am the genius student
My grades are all A+
Don't gawk, don't stare, don't wonder
And please don't make a fuss
I wouldn't want you caring
Or thinking of me too much
Long ago I gave up trying
To find happiness, peace, and trust

I am better off in my own world
Where all is safe and sound
Where no one seems to bother
If I am up or I am down
Where I can be left alone each day
And no one comes around
To see if I am alive or dead
If I am missing or I am found

You tried that once, I turned away
To go back inside to study
About pain and loss and suffering
I'd feel when you went away
I knew that day would surely come
Cause who would stay with me?
I have to no life to offer
I have no love to give
All I have now are my lessons
And my genius life to live.
