Words that rhyme with Sobriety
Sobriety is a three-syllable word built around the high /ɪ/, and it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word everyone uses. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why sobriety rhymes the way it does
Pull sobriety apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 95, assonance 3,029, and consonance 1059. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Sobriety works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
