“I hope you have all had an excellent summer. There have been a great many changes taking place in my world and I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly share them with you.
At the heart of this change is the closing of a very important chapter in my life, one that is no doubt close to all of us. On November 11th, in Los Angeles at the 3rd annual Dear Jack benefit, my band and I will perform our last set as Jack’s Mannequin.”

You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you’re not so sure you’ll surviveYou gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far
To fall off the earthThe currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head aboveI found the tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gunWith a crack in the armor, yeah
Well, I’d swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
But I’m not giving in
I swimYou gotta swim
Through nights that won’t end
You swim for your families,
Your lovers, your sisters,
you brothers, your friendsYeah you gotta swim
Through wars without a cause
Yeah, we swim for these lost politicians
That don’t see their greed as a flawThe currents will pull us
Away from our love
We just keep our heads aboveI found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
Still fire at me from a gunWith a crack in my armor -
Now I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Still I’m Choking on salt waterBut I’m not giving in
No, I’m not giving in
‘Cause I swimYou gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There’s no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the sparkYeah, you gotta swim
But don’t let yourself sink
We’ll find the horizon
I promise you it’s not as far as you’d thinkThe currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head aboveJust keep your head above
SwimJust keep your head above
Swim, swimJust keep your head above
Swim
