Words that rhyme with Psi
Sound and sense both matter for psi. The sound: one-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ษช/, ending that ends on an open vowel. The sense: a household-word. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. From the lyric side, it works as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.

Why psi rhymes the way it does
Psi is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ษช/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 87 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 830, assonance 2,115, and consonance 0. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Psi rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
