Jace writes a song and is scared to show it but finally does after some convincing from the schools music teacher that overheard him in the process of writing the song at the schools talent show. Jace is a "popular" senior at the high school that he and his girlfriend and one of 3 sisters (Ella who is a sophomore, Gracie who is in 5th grade and Jacie who is in Kindergarten) attend and no one knows that Jace is hiding his feeling of being alone along with his anxiety behind being the MVP on the baseball team, getting good grades, and a good ole smile. The talent show is welcome to all students that attend Princeton Public Schools District (PPSD) along with any family members. So everyone's gonna be there including his family.

The Day has arrived and its almost his turn to perform and to say he's nervous is an understatement. He fidgets with the many bracelets on his hand that he, his girlfriend, Gracie, and Jacie made babysitting them while their parents went to go pick Ella up from the airport a couple hours away from visiting a pen pal. While walking on the stage he finds 2 out of 3 of his younger sibling because Ella already performed playing a piece on the piano. Jacie is staring at him screaming his name like he is a superstar and he hasn't even started yet. Jace chuckles looking down.

The room goes quiet as the crowd waits for the music to start. When it does he grabs the mic and sings his feelings out.

"Help me, it's like the walls are caving in

Sometimes I feel like giving up

But I just can't

It isn't in my blood

Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing

I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something

I could take to ease my mind slowly

Just have a drink and you'll feel better

Just take her home and you'll feel better

Keep telling me that it gets better

Does it ever?

Help me, it's like the walls are caving in

Sometimes I feel like giving up

No medicine is strong enough

Someone help me

I'm crawling in my skin

Sometimes I feel like giving up

But I just can't

It isn't in my blood

It isn't in my blood

I'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious

Afraid to be alone again, I hate this

I'm trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh

Is there somebody who could

Help me, it's like the walls are caving in

Sometimes I feel like giving up

No medicine is strong enough

Someone help me

I'm crawling in my skin

Sometimes I feel like giving up

But I just can't

It isn't in my blood

It isn't in my blood

I need somebody now

I need somebody now
