Aimer “Escalate” Lyrics:

Who sings this song about us pain and sorrow?
Kagami utsushi no gou wo sumashita furi tsukurotte mitsumeteta
Kurikaesu itami ima da shiranu akogare
The weight of my sin nails me down agaitemo

Is it the future falling guuzou suuhai mitai da
Kasuka na fuan no ashioto wo Despair of all
Emptiness follows you here This never ending war
Shinjitai mirai e makimodoshite

Yurusenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I need someone to me wo fuse
Pray in my name taiko e inotte orete wa tsunaide
Again and again and again rasen no you one thing
Naze tatakai tsuzukeru no? mada sutekirenai mono wa
Karisome ka tashika na kibou ka fureru hari

Searching to find the truth there’s no tomorrow
Samenai yume moyou wo satotta fuu ni ashiratte sagashiteta

Same vision repeats itself houkai sunzen no rakuen
Aragatta hate no ketsumatsu wo Resisting me
I must be near to break down Release me I’m in pain
Shinjiau sekai e kakikaeru ima

Shimarenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I can live and die for sora wo kake
Give me a name namae wo tsukete shibori dashita koe wa
Again and again and again arashi no gou always
Mada aragai tsuzukeru no? mabuta ni yakitsuku mono wa
Moredasu hikari ka zangai ka yureru kage

Yurusenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I need someone to me wo fuse
Pray in my name taiko e inotte orete wa tsunaide
Again and again and again rasen no you one thing
Naze tatakai tsuzukeru no? mada sutekirenai mono wa
Karisome ka tashika na kibou ka fureru hari

Pray in my name
