Title: Unfollow Me, Judas
(Verse 1)
We were midnight riders, back against the wall
Two loud young believers swearing we’d take the fall
Said we’d die for each other, yeah we raised that glass
I meant every word, you let the moment pass
Boots in the firelight, promises in dust
I wore mine like dog tags, carved in iron trust
A Marine’s honor shines like a loaded gun
You said we were brothers — guess I was the only one
(Pre-Chorus)
Somebody must’ve pissed in your cereal bowl
Turned your spine to water, froze your soul
(Chorus)
Unfollow me, Judas, don’t shake my hand
Don’t smile in my face while you’re making your stand
It’s a knife in my back with a friendly grin
You wanna look loyal but you’re rotting within
You won’t cut me loose, you just hide in the shade
Peeking at my words like a debt unpaid
If you hate me, say it — don’t do it halfway
Unfollow me, Judas — don’t pretend you’ll stay
(Verse 2)
We were besties, yeah, ride-or-die bound
Now you scroll in silence, never make a sound
Still on my friends list, lurking in the dark
Like a cheap shot fired that don’t leave a mark
You couldn’t unfriend me, nah, that’d be too clean
You need a little window to my unseen
Checking what I’m saying, checking who I’m with
Cowardice dressed up like a harmless myth
(Pre-Chorus)
You wanna look holy in the public square
But betrayal’s breathing in your prayer
(Chorus)
Unfollow me, Judas, don’t shake my hand
Don’t toast to my name while you don’t give a damn
It’s a blade in my ribs while you call me “bro”
Front-row seat at a private show
You won’t burn the bridge, you just light the fuse
So you can watch from a distance and call it truce
If you’re walking away, then walk all the way
Unfollow me, Judas — don’t half-betray
(Bridge)
Yeah, maybe I pissed you off — that’s what I do
My job is to make you think, cut straight through
Truth don’t sit quiet, it rattles the cage
And cowards get nervous when you step on stage
I meant it when I said I’d bleed for the cause
You meant it ‘til it started breaking your laws
Honor ain’t seasonal, it don’t bend or sway
It stands like a flag that won’t fade away
(Breakdown)
So keep your quiet click and your silent retreat
Your ghost-follow footsteps down digital streets
If loyalty’s heavy, just drop the weight
But don’t call it friendship when it’s second-rate
(Final Chorus)
Unfollow me, Judas, don’t play both sides
Don’t whisper my name while your courage hides
If I’m too much truth for you to defend
Then don’t be my watcher pretending friend
A Marine’s honor is something to see
It don’t need approval, it just stands free
You said we would die — I still would today
Unfollow me, Judas — or get out my way
(Outro)
We were ride-or-die — at least I was
Unfollow me, Judas…
Because real brothers don’t pause.
