The Facial Bones

[Intro] Run your hand from your cheek down to your jaw Everything you just felt is bone Fourteen pieces, and only one of them moves [Verse 1] Two maxillae carry your upper teeth Two zygomatics give you cheekbones Two nasals bridge the top of your nose Two lacrimals, smallest in the face Two palatines finish the roof of your mouth Two inferior conchae sit inside the nose [Pre-Chorus] Twelve of them come in pairs, that's six sets Two more stand alone, and that's the fourteen Vomer splits the septum down the middle Mandible's the jaw, and the jaw moves [Chorus] Fourteen bones shaping your face Six pairs and two standing on their own Maxilla, zygomatic, nasal Lacrimal, palatine, inferior concha Vomer in the septum, mandible in the jaw Fourteen bones and the face is built [Verse 2] Mandible's the only skull bone that moves Every bite you take starts right there The other thirteen don't move at all Maxilla feels like it does, but it's fixed Zygomatic's the arch you feel when you chew Vomer's the one you'll never touch [Bridge] Careful with the conchae in the nose Superior and middle belong to the ethmoid Only the inferior stands on its own Count all three and you're over by two [Chorus] Fourteen bones shaping your face Six pairs and two standing on their own Maxilla, zygomatic, nasal Lacrimal, palatine, inferior concha Vomer in the septum, mandible in the jaw Fourteen bones and the face is built [Outro] Six in pairs, two alone, fourteen Only the mandible moves Inferior concha is facial, the other two are ethmoid Eight plus fourteen, twenty-two in the skull [End]
