about

Originally released as track 1 of 4 on the "Dangerous Intersections V" 7-inch (which also featured The Lengendary San Diego Chargers, Shang-a-Lang, and Andrew Jackson Jihad) in 2009.

The title refers to the text on hypodermic syringes, "use once an destroy," and the fact that I do shit that I shouldn't be doing OVER AND OVER. Whether it's re-using syringes or destroying friendships and relationships. In 2008, I was still afraid to write about heroin in such a way as to explicitly acknowledge that I was shooting up. There are references to it in the lyrics to "Sleeping" and "Seatbelt" as well though.

lyrics

tried to go out and have some fun, but ten minutes in, and i'm pulling off the road
withdraw the keys from the ignition, leave my car and my friends sitting there, and walk two hours home
now my phone won’t stop ringing and i’m hanging it up every time
to spite myself, i’ll sit in this dark house alone with my gas station wine 

rocks through windows in my head
why am i so hell bent on losing all of my friends?
everyone knows I don’t get it, I’m so miserable, pathetic
I should probably just go to bed 

the sickness of regret keeps me from sleep
on this torture rack I toss and turn
counting on tomorrow to be a clean slate
I’m starting to notice a pattern emerge

Sensitivity Training
by Rational Anthem

I'm not sure I even know how to describe this band anymore. Let's say, "Fuel For the Hate Game" meets "Dude Ranch." I had nothing to do with this album, and I'm STILL insanely proud of it. Go figure. Troublemake

Midwest Nothing
by Like Bats

If "Four Minute Mile" by The Get Up Kids were a raspy, gritty, fucked up pop punk record, it'd sound kinda like this. For fans of Dear Landlord, Jawbreaker, or The Lawrence Arms. Troublemake

When I Couldn't Breathe
by Sundials

I released this band's first full-length, but - holy shit - this second one blows it out of the water. If you're anything like me, you'll be totally hooked before the drums even kick in on song one. Troublemake
