West is a cardinal direction.
West or The West may also refer to:
Global context
National contexts
West is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. West is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of east and is perpendicular to north and south.
The word "West" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (ouest in French, oest in Catalan, ovest in Italian, oeste in Spanish and Portuguese). As is apparent in the Gothic term vasi (Visigoths), it stems from the same Indo-European root that gave the Sanskrit vas-ati (night) and vesper (evening) in Latin.
To go west using a compass for navigation, one needs to set a bearing or azimuth of 270°.
West is the direction opposite that of the Earth's rotation on its axis, and is therefore the general direction towards which the Sun appears to constantly progress and eventually set.
Moving continuously west is following a circle of latitude.
The phrase "the West" is often spoken in reference to the Western world, which includes Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, and the United States of America.

(For use by my students) “Time after time, Congress and the people in the East saw the West as a safety valve, a place where you could go and escape the problems of where you were, it was part of the whole myth of the West. You could escape and be free. Well, we thought we could escape whatever national tensions and unresolved problems we had, but it came back you know, like a big wind from the prairie, bigger and bigger each time." -Dayton Duncan

Wanting to draw you out
Hiding in a safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
No worries where we're at
The weather that we mostly had
Standing on the rafter
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Before I close my eyes, I'm not gonna lie
To cut my mask
(leave the lies to the liars)
(leave the lies to the liars)
...ways you could die in the hospital
Then on the car ride home
Waiting for her head to explode
Waiting in a safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital
Before I close my eyes, I'm not gonna lie
(I'm not gonna lie)
To cut my mask
(leave the lies to the liars)
(leave the lies to the liars)
Before I close my eyes, I'm not gonna lie
(I'm not gonna lie)
To cut my mask
(leave the lies to the liars)
(leave the lies to the liars)
Leave the lies to the liars.
