The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The assonance options multiply into the thousands, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set.

Why remark rhymes the way it does
In our engine, remark registers as a two-syllable word on the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 7,365, and consonance 42. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Remark is a word that benefits from the second pass.
