Words that rhyme with Injection
Most songwriters treat injection as a word that wants concrete rhymes to ground it, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the centred /ษ/, ending that hums to a nasal close. Abstract words like this work best when the surrounding line is sensory. From the rhyme-data side: you won't run short of perfect rhymes, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. From the lyric side, it works as a non-image word. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why injection rhymes the way it does
The phonology of injection is a three-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 50 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 86, assonance 14,686, and consonance 22. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Injection pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
