Words that rhyme with Vapor
Vapor, a two-syllable word the lyric earns weight from by context, lands its weight on the /ษหr/ vowel and flows into the next line via a liquid. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Pool data: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a common-tongue word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why vapor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, vapor registers as a two-syllable word on the back /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 282, assonance 6,361, and consonance 553. 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 vapor, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
