Words that rhyme with Molded
On the page, molded is a common-tongue word; on the ear it's a two-syllable word on the mid /ษ/ that ends with a clean stop. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Its job in a lyric is a workaday word, holding down whatever line it lands in. If you're searching for rhymes for molded, the shape of the pool is unusual: no strict pair turns up at all, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why molded rhymes the way it does
Pull molded apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 192, assonance 6,692, and consonance 13. 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. Molded pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
