Words that rhyme with Buoyancy
Most songwriters treat buoyancy as a word that lives in the head before the senses, but the phonology underneath matters: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ɪ/, ending that opens out at the end. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. This one travels in song as a word that wants concrete rhymes to ground it. Type rhymes for buoyancy into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family column is blank, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why buoyancy rhymes the way it does
In our engine, buoyancy registers as a two-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 41, assonance 2,324, and consonance 197. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Buoyancy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
