MUSIC: "On A High" by Duncan Sheik

[I heard the intro of this song in the background of one of the episodes of Alias (Season 2), and I knew that I had to search it out. It's a self-affirming song with a powerful undercurrent. It was my happy find for the month.     :)]

"On A High"

Lyrics:

I'm on a high, on a high
nothing more to it.
we are the sea and the sky
and the blue that runs through it, yeah.

and there are some who say there are so many things I need
so I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed
I bleed, I bleed

well, it's a lie, it's a lie
don't you believe it.
if you're fine then you're fine
it's all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.

I'm on a high, on a high
nothing more to it
I have the sun, it's a star
why should I refuse it?

and there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down
there's not enough money or time and my love you're not around
around, around

but it's a lie, it's a lie
don't you believe it.
if you're fine, then you're fine
it's all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.

you're alive, you're alive
how else could you hear me?
you are fine, you are fine
there's nothing worth fearing
'cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness

I'm on a high, on a high
we are the sea and the sky
I'm on a high, on a high
I'm on a high

it's a lie, it's a lie
don't you believe it
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
I can't really see it
yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness.

said I was yours, you were mine
but I didn't really mean it
and I lied and I lied
and I wish you hadn't seen it
'cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness

I'm on a high, on a high,
there's nothing more to it, yeah.
