@mileslivingston a tear will certainly take the wind out of YOUR sails, Miles. The words in M. Ward's lyric are definitely "Tom Violence" in reference to Sonic Youth's song from Evol (1986). As @akagoldfish has already pointed out it makes perfect sense if you relate this song to Tom Violence and consider that this song is about dreams of escape. The lyric "Helicopter has taken to breaking this dreaming spell" suggests that M. Ward has overcome his inabilty to write / create as represented by "Tom Violence".

Uh yeah, except you guys are wrong.
"TORN violence has taken the wind out of my sails"
It's funny how a tear will take the wind out of your sails and a Tom won't, isn't it?
