This one Schala wrote the lyrics for. It's about a woman who takes on too much, burns out, and then resents everyone, and then resents herself.
lyrics
She's got it together.
She's doing great by anyone's estimation.
She's so responsible,
but when she cries in bed, she says:
"
And I still hate it every time I have to eat a vegetable,
and I still hate it every time I have to bathe,
and I still loathe going to the grocery store,
oh why do I hate doing anything for myself?
And, oh god, do I hate myself?
And I still hate running on the hamster wheel,
and I still hate taking care of me.
and I still hate taking care of all of you, and,
oh god, do I hate myself?
Oh god, do I hate myself?
"
