Why sep rhymes the way it does
Pull sep apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 31, assonance 8,572, and consonance 308. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With sep, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
