OK, help:
Illusion, with an I, not allusion. Next problem; punctuation. It should read like this:

"Falling, Falling, into an illusion of a life that could never be,faded, wasted years down the drain, lost at sea. Do you see me, Father? I am watching you. Do you hear me, Father? I am telling you. Can you hold me, Father? I need you. But his addiction is his child, and he is lost to you. Oh, faded, wasted years, down the drain of a life that could never be. But this, my dear Father, will not be me.

You just need to learn to punctuate. And, if you say, "My father gave me this," you don't capitalize the word 'father' when it is not the first word in the sentence. However, when substituting the word 'father' for a name, you capitalize, just as you would a name; "What's wrong, Father? You look troubled.
Also, capitalize when it is a title, like when referring to a oriest,
or a character like Father Time.
Hope this was helpful.
