Words that rhyme with Treason
Sound and sense both matter for treason. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the round /ษ/, ending that lets the nasal carry the tail. The sense: an unguarded everyday word. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. What the engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, the family-rhyme column adds honest near-rhymes, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a workaday word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why treason rhymes the way it does
To understand why treason rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the round /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 354, assonance 6,484, and consonance 22. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Treason rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
