Sang Froid Lyrics - Collider - Sam Roberts

We were shining on the front lines 

We were standing on a land mine 

But it's been a long time since I was afraid 

We were hunters in the daylight 

We were prey after midnight 

But it's been a long time since I was afraid 

We've been shining on the front lines 

Burning in the sunshine 

We've been dancing in the headlines 

Standing on a land mine 

There were flowers in the fields 

There were guns, human shields 

Ain't a daydream, this is real 

Ain't a smokescreen, can't conceal 

We were flushed with success 

We were crushed by excess 

We were standing at address 

We were hoping for the best 

We've been shining on the front lines 

Burning in the sunshine 

We've been dancing in the headlines 

Standing on a land mine 

Sang froid at the right time 

Lying there waiting for the fever to break 

There's only so much that a body can take (don't you know) 

Everyone has a little piece to defend 

There's only so much that a body can bend 

There were roads that were paved 

Only those who were saved are coming home 

They're coming home 

Reincarnation 

You're coming back as a bug 

Hallucinations got you crying tears on an afghan rug 

Hope of salvation, pray for victory 

You were only nineteen, you have so much to be 

And now you're suffering from PTSD 

We were flushed with success 

We were crushed by excess 

We were standing at address 

We were hoping for the best 

We've been shining on the front lines 

Burning in the sunshine 

We've been dancing in the headlines 

Standing on a land mine 

Sang froid at the right time 

Sang froid at the right time
