lyrics
Poison Apple
(Lyrics by Anthony McManus & Warrick Fraser)
Intro samples from "Brimstone & Treacle"
Feature directed by Richard Loncraine
Fake enough to be real
Desensitized enough to feel
You're perfect - sugared and rich
Perfection - poison apple from a witch
You want to see me break...me break?
Do you want to see me break?
Goes to show, justice in this world
Stars and dealers get the pretty girls
Goes to show, karma in this world
Stars and dealers, vain little girls
Give all ourselves, offer to little
Hairline cracks, you're just as brittle
Don't want to reap, want to sow
Is it shallow with the flow?
You want to see me break...me break?
Do you want to see me break?
Goes to show, karma in this world
Stars and dealers, vain little girls
And i've watched you feed
Like an animal
Primitive indeed
Like an animal
And angry when you bleed
Just a fuckin' animal
Just like me
A fuckin' animal
Too far, far enough
Too far, far enough
Learn to be subtle to be abrupt
The middle ground was never far enough
You want to see me break...me break?
Do you want to see me break?
And i've watched you feed
Like an animal
Primitive indeed
Like an animal
Angry when you bleed
Just a fuckin' animal
Just like me
A fuckin' animal
Too far, far enough
Too far, far enough
Learn to be subtle to be abrupt
The species will survive if it's strong enough
Do you want to see me break...me break?

DNA.LIEN began not so much as a band, but more as an ambitious multimedia juggernaut.
Everything from
music production and engineering through to graphic art was completed by the band.
Many solicited and unsolicited demo's were sent to various places locally & abroad.
Ultimately, the first incarnation of DNA.LIEN proved too ambitious.
The members took a break to reflect on the project....more
Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017
On the forthcoming Tombs album "All Empires Fall," the band expands their scope and range, balancing brutal riffs with melancholy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2016
