actual human people - handle with care

I can't shake the feeling that I'm dying
Can't quite figure out the cause of it
And that's not for lack of trying
I thought by now this wave of it
Would have to end
But should've known it wasn't over just yet
Mmmm
Mmmm
Am I confined to repeat cycles like this
Year after year?
All swaddled tightly up in caution tape
Labeled 'handle with care'
When all it takes to ring alarm bells
Is a change in the air
And I decide again
It's time to disappear
Grew up on TV static headaches
Footsteps above instilling fear
And risking drug induced psychosis
Just to get away from here
It always left me feeling far away
I guess that was the idea
I never thought I'd have to deal with it
Or even make it to this year
Am I confined to repeat cycles like this
Year after year?
All swaddled tightly up in caution tape
Labeled 'handle with care'
When all it takes to ring alarm bells
Is a change in the air
And I decide again
It's time to disappear
It all hits at once with urgency
And it felt so real this time
I know you won't believe me
Reason seems to cost a fortune
When I'm convinced the stakes are high
I'd rather fade away entirely
Than hear you say goodbye
Goodbye
