Story Behind The Song
it takes place in a couples final argument or 'showdown'. So much horrifying truth is spilling out that the other has blown a fuse and has become vacant, like a shadow, like shes been through it all before and is going through the motions but no longer 'present'. Just taking it in and mentally putting the relationship to rest.

Lyrics
IN THE SHADOWPLAY
Hit me with your confessions
Dont hold back, Dont hold back
Hit me with your transgressions
Dont stop now, Dont stop now
Im standing stoic in the storm
Take your time, Tell it straight
Pulled from your mouth like a thorn
Youre bleeding out, Im breathing in
Oh here come the showdown
In the shadow play, In the shadow play
Oh but I aint gonna throw down
Just walk away
Im done with the shadow Play
Im done with the shadow play
Ive played the part but I cant
Breathe for me, And breathe for you
We're just light upon each others hands
Casting long, Fading fast
ch
And I could just give up trying
To stay sane in a world of crazy
But I would just be lying
To say that it was just that easy
I can rise above or I can crawl
Further on down this rabbit hole
Sometimes we're all just dancing on a wall
To a flame, Burning low
Oh here come the Showdown
In the shadow play, In the shadow play
Oh but it aint gonna slow me down
Im on my way
On my way from the shadow play
