Wrenched into the world, deanaesthetized
Blurry images fit their way through halfway opened eyes
Awakened by alarm fifteen minutes of hygiene
Twenty minutes of eating thirty seconds to the door
I looked outside I looked into the eyes
Of the impersonal mob I've seen a thousand times before
Feeling under covers like books on a shelf
If we're scared of one another
Must be scared of our self
More than just another crowd
We need a gathering instead
Drink drink in the bad land liquid bread for the poor
Another member of the crowd goes down
To drown at the liquor store
Choose your escape in the heartland
Of product and demand when you feel like a wasp in the swarm
You gotta get away anyway that you can

If we're scared of one another

I LOVE THIS SONG. IT WAS THE FIRST OP IVY SONG I'VE EVER HEARD, I'M ADDICTED TO IT, I'M FUCKING ADDICTED TO ALL OF THESE SONGS.
then the next part is about how you go outside and see the thing you are terrified of, people. "Feeling under covers like books on a shelf" this is saying you hide under your covers like a closed book on a shelf. then it goes on to say how if your scared of people you are then scared of yourself.
the it goes on to say no people are not a crowd and something to fear, and maybe people should gather instead
now the final bit talks about how you drink to relieve your anxiety, then the line "Of product and demand when you feel like a wasp in the swarm
You gotta get away anyway that you can"
is saying when you feel like surround you try to run and hide anyway you can
