Cloud Cult – “Take Your Medicine”

I know, it’s not a real music video this time, but I still love this song.

I got myself a new look,
(Something gave me another chance to see).
Each time, each time I will try to do better.
Right now, right now is where I guess I belong.

Pulled my fist from my mouth.
I beat myself for a quarter century.
Remind, remind that it’s bigger than me.
Dissolve, dissolve into evergreens.

These are things that I keep hidden in my belly.
I can’t see them but they control my life.
For a moment you could see right through me (see right through me).
Help me make this right
Look at all those skeletons running from their closets, get them in the light!

You can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes.
Suck up, suck up and take your medicine.
It’s a good day, it’s a good day to face the hard things.

I pulled my fist from my mouth.
I beat myself for a quarter century.
Remind, remind that it’s bigger than me.
Dissolve, dissolve into evergreens.

(We found beautiful babies sleeping in our ribs. Get them in the light.)

I guess it’s the times we live in, but I find myself singing the chorus — “You can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes./Suck up, suck up and take your medicine./It’s a good day, it’s a good day to face the hard things” — to myself all the time recently.
