[Verse 1] Apron tied Tired eyes Steam rising in the room Sugar on her gentle hands Still hiding every bruise Cracked mug by the window She hums But her voice is low Calling me “my child” Like she’s scared to let me go [Chorus] Toriel Toriel Keep the kettle on You pull me in I burn I breathe I’m gone Soft as mercy Sharp as letting go Toriel Toriel Don’t say “child” no more Say my name Lock the door (oh) [Verse 2] Flour on my fingers From the slice she saved for me Smiles like a secret That she’s trying not to see Sits down on the sofa Lamps dim to a honey glow Asking if I’m lonely While our shadows start to grow [Chorus] Toriel Toriel Keep the kettle on You pull me in I burn I breathe I’m gone Soft as mercy Sharp as letting go Toriel Toriel Don’t say “child” no more Say my name Lock the door (yeah) [Bridge] You say it’s dangerous further down But it’s worse right here when you’re close Every “stay here” tastes like “kiss me” On the edge of what we know [Chorus] Toriel Toriel Keep the kettle on You pull me in I burn I breathe I’m gone Soft as mercy Sharp as letting go Toriel Toriel Don’t say “child” no more Say my name Lock the door Toriel Toriel I’m already yours
