Note from the artist: I've always been a diehard Porcupine Tree nut, and this song, in a way, speaks of a post-nuclear apocalypse we've surely envisioned in light of tensions on a global level, which was very much a part of my 2017.
lyrics
Run through forests on a hot summer day
Trying to break down walls of numbing pain
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
Run through graveyards on a dusty winter day
Spit the dirt out and try to say
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me radioactive toy
