"The Glass Prison" is a song by the progressive metal band Dream Theater.

It is the first track from their 2-CD album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002), and is about the first three of the famous 12 steps created by Bill Wilson. The lyrics were written by the band's drummer, Mike Portnoy, about his experience with alcoholism.

This track was often used to begin concerts since the World Tourbulence tour, as it is heavily rhythmic and efficient.

Two sequels to "The Glass Prison", entitled "This Dying Soul" and "The Root of All Evil", appeared on subsequent albums Train of Thought and Octavarium respectively. As well, these follow-up songs have lyrical and musical references to the previous ones. For example, the very heavy, crunching metallic part of "The Glass Prison" around 5:54 is heard in "This Dying Soul."

Mike Portnoy has also stated his desire to release all 12 steps on the band's next live CD. This will happen as soon as the songs for steps 8-12 are finished and recorded in the studio.
