Tick, Tick

Another movement, another minute Another hour, does this tick win yet? 
Keep holding off the moment As if a day of glory will come 
When fate shines down atonement 
And then you will be optimum 
Hypocrite thy name is human 
We're in the same boat of lies 
With humdrum holds and fickle crewman 
We sail stubbornly sans surprise 
Heave Ho! Heavy against the change we woe 
Don't mind the wake, it won't touch our fate 
Stroke! Row! Despite the winds blow 
Let's take stake that chaos hold its state 
You want life's meaning? Moving and reproduction 
You want a sign? Let it be me 
Want a purpose? Learn how you best function
What's the point? You'll just have to see
