Words that rhyme with Lesion
A two-syllable word that reads as an idea-word, lesion sits on the short /ษ/ and trails through a nasal hum. Songs that use it well also reach for something physical nearby. In a song, the word is a non-image word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the strict-rhyme column is bounded, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why lesion rhymes the way it does
Pull lesion apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 237, assonance 5,725, and consonance 55. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Lesion works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
