Words that rhyme with Censor
From a sound-design view, censor is a household-word on the rounded /ษหr/, two-syllable, and it flows into the next line via a liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Two readings: as data โ only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, the assonance count climbs into the thousands; as lyric โ a word everyone uses. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why censor rhymes the way it does
Censor is built around the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 12,381, and consonance 196. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Censor pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
