The Alleyman Pocast Episode 1

Lyrics:
I see my mistakes in the young people around me
I see the ways that I’ve fucked up in all their choices
And if I try to guide them, they turn away from me
I know how every elder must feel, and I’m not so old

So I’ll do my best to show you the paths that you should follow
Just ignore my clumsy footprints in the underbrush
I’ll do my best to give you the skills I think you should have by now
It’s a hard job, someone’s gotta do it, guess it’s gonna be me

I see my experiments in the arrow of a youngster’s life
I see what might have been as attitudes chill and identities bloom
And if I try to guide them in a way that makes sense to me
Of course they’ll make different mistakes while finding better answers

So I’ll do my best to show you the paths that you should follow
Just ignore my ramblings as you chat away on the telephone
I’ll do my best to forge you the armour that will support you
It’s a hard job, someone’s gotta try it, guess it’s gonna be me
 
Was I meant to be your teacher?
Who picks a person for their mentor?
Who chooses one life for themself to emulate?
If not me, if not me, then who?
