When startup teams burn out but won't acknowledge it

Our startup team of five has been working 70-hour weeks for eight months and we all keep saying we're fine but I can see everyone is breaking down in different ways and we're too scared to be the first one to say we can't sustain this. The work is suffering but admitting that feels like admitting failure.
