After Forever - SINS OF IDEALISM lyrics

Hello father, hello mother;

there is so much I don't get

Please don't be mad at me; I will try harder,

I'll really do the best I can

That's not enough

You're the cause of my domestic captivity

And I will close my eyes and fantasize

of a world that's not so cold

That's how it will be

Suffer the causes of my personal misery

I've sacrificed my beauty,

my freedom, my dreams,

the independent me

Hello father, hello mother;

Don't blame me for things I didn't do

Yes, I will go now and I'll be silent;

please stop your screaming, and love me

That's all you can see

Speak of love while you've ruined

what's meant to be

And then I'll close my eyes

to fantasize of a world

Where I can be free

And free to be

Sinner or righteous,

the line is so thin

Can you condemn it

Can you be the one to judge it all

Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life?

Hello father, hello mother;

forgive me for standing in your way

I just wanted someone who'd hold me and listen,

are these illusions, are they

Only fantasies?

Imagine how my life could have been

I would still have my beauty,

my freedom, my dreams,

the independent me

Our course in life is a path we must take alone

No one can choose what to do,

only you, so the sins we commit are the struggles within

There is no judge to decide what is right, what is wrong

Tell me, can you live in freedom

knowing that your choice hurt someone

Once we had a life and now we have you

The saviour of love is a catastrophe

I'll leave you both if I must give up my dreams

My chances aren't here with you

I won't be chained because of this

The sins of all, the sinner in me

I follow my dreams, you call it blasphemy

If my ideals are sins

To me they are the strength within

Then I shall stay a sinner

I can be free

And free to be

Sinner or righteous,

the line is so thin

Can you condemn it

Can you be the one to judge it all

Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life?
