Thru The Glass

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Ca$his]

I'm looking at you through the glass

Don't know how much time has passed

It kinda feels like forever

No one ever tells you that forever feels like home

Sitting all alone inside your head

I love you baby, what's your name?

Young Ca$his, let's go

[Verse 1]

As the tears rolls, year goes, another week you're gone

Just learned how to walk, wish I could put your shoes on

More bad news, oh, now I got a violation

Robberies, now I'm charged again over my probation

Baby, please walk slow, I don't want to see you go

If I die here, daddy's love, you would never know

Same thing on the street I be getting medals for

Got me through the glass, telling my baby I gotta go

Shake on my stomach 'cause my race be outnumbered

I ain't come here to be afraid of star running (Uh)

Dream about you daily, this thing I'm obsessed

Doing your head like you love your bright red barrettes

Watching you fall asleep with a bottle in your mouth

But to me, this what being a father's all about

Now I'm sitting in my cell with my pen in my mouth

I'm tryna figure out how to get out

[Chorus: Corey Taylor]

I'm looking at you through the glass

Don't know how much time has passed

It kinda feels like forever

No one ever tells you that forever feels like home

Sitting all alone inside your head

[Verse 2]

You my firstborn baby, the first one that made me

Swear to all I'd do anything for you, being raised the

Opposite of me, look at us, they say

Now you dead, you gotta wheel and your name is wet

And I'm sitting in the cell and this cage with Satan

Trying to steer away from Hell 'cause a Heaven's waiting

But I can't see it, I ain't tryna be brute

I can't be it, thinking back, slitting my throat to keep my own freedom

Then, I get letters with scribbles, I read it

With circle, hearts, and squares, you love me and I see it

I never take you for granted again, please believe it

Lost a year of my life, without you, I stop breathing

I wish that I could backtrack, take it all right back

Again where I left you in chains, it ain't like that

So now, I smoke a Newport to the ash

Wish I could hold you but I'm only

[Chorus: Corey Taylor]

I'm looking at you through the glass

Don't know how much time has passed

It kinda feels like forever

No one ever tells you that forever feels like home

Sitting all alone inside your head

[Verse 3]

On your first birthday, remember all I could do

Was take you to Taco Bell, split a Chalupa with you

On your second birthday, inside these walls reminiscing

How I'm missing you, you grow up every time you show up to visit

What is it? I know it's way too close isn't it

They taking that away when your thirty, manage to kick it

But before I go, I want you to know little missus

I promise you another birthday, I'm never missing

Put your hand on the glass, touch your hand through the glass

Having the flashes of smashing, snatching you up and dashing

Then I snap out and watch when you walk away and we crying

But you don't even know that daddy almost through with his time

And my emotions are high, wiping a tear from my eyes

'Cause you don't know that I'll be coming home to see you tonight

I pull up in the drive, I'm nervous walking inside

I see you sleeping, I'm creeping up to yell, "Surprise"

Then you jump up scared, 'till you recognize

That it's your dad, we hug with the same gleam in her eyes

Then we laugh, look up fast, time passed

Now I be on TV, and you see me, and I'm

[Chorus: Corey Taylor]

I'm looking at you through the glass

Don't know how much time has passed

It kinda feels like forever

No one ever tells you that forever feels like home

Sitting all alone inside your head

[Outro]

Ayy, I love you

And that's what it is

You see what I'm saying?

You can always have hope, man

'Cause I never knew

Knew that I'd be here
