	Story Behind the Song This song is about a friend of Bill's who was rearended in his car and died. He had ordered a new set of drums and was waiting for them when it happened so he never got to play them. The song deals with the fact that any moment may be our last. Lyrics Red Drums Like clockwork on the wall, two hands aligned but stalled, and then a third that speeds unnecessarily. Your car was parked while the other one sped. In your last second the thought in your head was you'll never play on your new polished red drums that you waited for for so long. But I know it's better than for you to be stuck in a wheelchair with broken feet and hands. But either way, your red drums won't be played. Who'll kick them for you and clean them for you too? I've watched the seconds tick. They seem so insignificant. Now I know why you thought of your red drums; to make your last second seem longer than one. Ever since then I just keep watching time speed up and slow down, But never wait for us. I'll play them for you. I never really knew you, but I'll always remember you and how every second can be so different, so permanent.
