Words that rhyme with Sci
On the page, sci is a low-register anchor; on the ear it's a one-syllable word on the short /ษช/ that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Its job in a lyric is a workaday word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Rhymes for sci have a particular footprint: the strict column is unhelpful here, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why sci rhymes the way it does
In our engine, sci registers as a one-syllable word on the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1288, assonance 5,602, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Sci rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
