I have a knee jerk reaction every time I hear you use the word faith 
at once I'm appalled, semi-curious, but mostly appalled 

A gag reflex from every taste of your spiritual goulash 
add some pepper sure, but you can't remove any of the salt 

You called me an empiricist, you meant it as an insult 

It's a rolling of the eyes that I'd describe simply as involuntary 
if you had my respect you've lost it, if you had it at all 

You called me an empiricist, you meant it as an insult 

It's cardiac arrhythmia each time you say a little prayer for me 
what's good I know I've earned, but when I fumble that's also my fault 

We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute feelings for fact 
see so many others fake, or just confuse their symptoms for emotion 

I have a natural inclination to escape all conversation about Virgos, 
bar hop, change the channel, stay at home, pub crawl 

It's a churning of the stomach, gnawing of the teeth, shivers up the spine 
binary code: zeroes, ones, do you recall? 

You called me an empiricist, you meant it as an insult 

We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute feelings for fact 
see so many others fake, or just confuse their symptoms for emotion
