Words that rhyme with Wraith
Wraith reads as a shadow word on the page; phonetically it's one-syllable, anchored on the gliding /eɪ/, ending where it ends in a hissed consonant. It sits on the lower half of the song's emotional register. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. From the lyric side, it works as a low-register word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why wraith rhymes the way it does
In our engine, wraith registers as a one-syllable word on the long /eɪ/ (/eɪ/) that tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 4,701, and consonance 83. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Wraith is a word that benefits from the second pass.
