Words that rhyme with Boundary
For the rhyme search, what matters about boundary is this: three-syllable, vowel on the tight /ɪ/, ending that doesn't close on a consonant at all. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Pool data: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why boundary rhymes the way it does
Pull boundary apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 76, assonance 4,963, and consonance 459. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Boundary reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
