Words that rhyme with Deaths
Take deaths apart phonetically and the bones are these: one-syllable, vowel on the singing /iห/, ending that lets the line dissolve into a fricative.

Why deaths rhymes the way it does
Deaths is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the singing /iห/, then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 10,551, and consonance 20. 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. Deaths reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
