candor — a faction that blames duplicity for the destruction of the world, and so, strives to tell the truth

。゚☆: *. .* :☆゚.

I'd like to believe I tell the truth
words spilling from my lips like honey
the world become a lot less twisted
because I bore the weight of the heavy truth

if I told the truth I'd be Candor
plainly authentic and genuine
not biting back a single word in their minds

but then I'd be lying
and wouldn't be close to Candor

I tell the truth, not all the time
when necessary, when needed
because not everyone needs to know
all the things inside my head

if I was truthful, they'd all know
the way I eat myself alive
the way I am perpetually problematic
the way I am not perfect

I am not Candor
I am not truthful
I withhold the truth whenever it's beneficial

I am not CandorI am not truthfulI withhold the truth whenever it's beneficial
